What people are saying
Updated nightlyReactions to this inside story of "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" are sharply divided, with a near-even split between those who find it fascinating and those frustrated by it. As a documentary about Cilvaringz's journey from superfan to collaborator, it's seen as a unique, if messy, deep dive into one of music's oddest tales. The inclusion of figures like RZA and Martin Shkreli, however, gets a universally negative response for pulling focus and souring the fable. Ultimately, it's a niche watch that Wu-Tang completists will appreciate, but the story's presentation leaves many others cold.
