The Hollywood Reporter said, its a shame that Cheungs first film in seven years is eventually weighed down by this rushed, uneven sprawl of a story credited to five screenwriters, each of whom possibly bringing their own references ranging from politicalparable historical dramas like last years Life of Ming, to the contemporary dramas like Infernal Affairs and their perspective in how to make The White Haired Witch connect with a new generation of viewers. Their attempt in reinventing this tale sits uncomfortably with the one central element that couldnt be moved that is, the troubled and sloppily presented romance involving the titular character. ........
