Review by BRYON DALE MCCONNELL
The cover includes a quote: The Greatest Martial Arts Movie of All Time! Yes, the film is remarkable. The style of martial arts practiced by Ip Man in the film was new to me, and inspired me to want to learn more about this real-life character. As well, this is a Chinese film which is largely set in the Second World War: for the first time I saw the Japanese being depicted in the way that we usually see Nazis depicted in Western films, and the film is worth seeing for the reason of beginning to develop an awareness of that aspect.
