An impressively polished debut feature, admirably ambitious and elegantly crafted. Go to Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com 01/30/2021
8/10
The acting is solid in this tale of a post WWII boxing match, but it is the music and cinematography that make it great. Go to Full Review Mark Jackson Epoch Times 11/11/2020
2.5/5
"A" for effort. Unmistakable parallels to Malik's "The Tree of Life," but with none of the profundity. A movie this artistically good-looking begs for some nuggets of wisdom beyond fleeting cherry blossoms equaling boxers having short shelf lives.

3/5
The film is a flourish of style, with strong direction eliciting top-shelf performances from a no-name cast and filling the film with tough dramatic scenes and lyrical visuals that rework a standard scenario into a package we've never really seen before.

In Full Bloom functions as a visually exciting tone poem and as a soulful reflection on battle. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
