It’s rare that a very good martial arts movie with a strong story comes along. Rarer still that the martial arts are really good to watch! They don’t make films like these anymore, until Ip Man.

This is a portrayal of a true martial artist who learnt the art of Wing Chun. It shows the light and dark side of a period where I can only imagine what it’s like.
