‘Cliff Walkers’ Review: Zhang Yimou’s Sumptuous Spyjinks Leave the Characters Out in the Cold Variety 5/3/2021
When the urgent desire to make something beautiful overrides the desire to tell a particular story and when you are Zhang Yimou, rebounding from a run-in with the Chinese authorities over your last picture, “One Second” you might end up with a film like “Cliff Walkers.” A gorgeously snowbound period spy movie insulated beneath layers of contorted plotting just as its cast is swaddled in snow-speckled winter furs and fedoras, the film is a muddle of a plot wrapped around a bland, committee-approved message, but mounted with such magnificence it’s possible not to really mind.
The Los Angeles Times is committed to reviewing new theatrical film releases during the
COVID-19 pandemic. Because moviegoing carries inherent risks during this time, we remind readers to follow health and safety guidelines
as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health officials. We will continue to note the various ways readers can see each new film, including drive-in theaters in the Southland and VOD/streaming options when available.
With “Cliff Walkers,” storied Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou (“Ju Dou,” “Raise the Red Lantern,” “Hero”) turns his finely tuned eye to the spy genre. The result is twisty and tense, ugly and gorgeous. Viewers will get pretty much what they expect, for worse and for better.
