An exciting and inventive kung fu film about Buddhist demon hunters. Even people who hate subtitled films will like this one. It’s fun from beginning to end with one caveat: it comes off as a little too repressed that the badass female heroine keeps getting rejected so thoroughly by her doofus male counterpart. It plays into the way that “aggressive” women are often punished in Asian films. Still, about as good a time as you can have with a foreign film this year. Grade: B+
Blue in A Red State
