Beautiful
Just finished watching this film a couple minutes ago. The cinematography is beautiful, as is the location and the music. There are times when the story feels cut, as if scenes have been deleted in editing, so I would like to see an extended version, but the story is solid. The characters are believable, and the romance doesn't include the bedroom, but happens outside it, in the subtleties of everyday life. Definitely adding this one to my video library.
Great RomCom
Great Johnnie To film. Super plot with very good characterizations by great actors. As usual with Johnnie To, good ending but not quite what you're expecting.
Nice opportunity to see a movie you won't get locally or on TV
If you're reading this review it's probably because you are trying to decide if you should watch this. I invested my 2 hours and felt like it was well worth it. It's a wonderfully written and acted romance movie from China. In my opinion just as good as anything coming out of Hollywood these days (at least as far as romance/love story type movies.)
Interesting story: Man on the rebound falls for the the grieving 'never gives up hope' woman not willing to admit she's a widow yet. They help each other with their emotional demons and fall in love, but have to overcome so many roadblocks to get there.
Well acted, sympathetic characters, all in all pretty good. No sex, violence, cursing or nudity. Just drama and romance. 2 hankie ending.
