Brilliant and touching

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I don't ever review any movies but I ended up watching this after seeing the 8.0 rating and that rating seems way higher than it should be. I watched this movie because I really liked watching "Already tomorrow in Hong Kong" and I thought this might be similar. There is no comparison. I have never really been on stage or in a movie and I think I could act better than these actors. The dialogues seem forced and in some places it almost looks like they are recording a reading session rather than an actual scene. There is no emotion. The actors don't seem invested. Its pretty ridiculous.

The romance between Liam and Yan was very well done, from their 1st meeting it felt natural, but kismet. I didn't have much interest in the legal story of it, but it was fine, and the movie built towards a very unexpected bittersweet ending. Yikes, that hurt so so bad. Strangely I guess that's just life nowadays...

The director has a great eye framing the shots and works so well with his cameraman. The transitions keep the film moving while conveying the mood of each scene. The colors and mood shifts when the movie takes a turn. This is a great unique love story that we rarely see, made for an international audience and it's beautiful to watch. Going to look out for more work from these talented filmmakers!

I've never seen Hong Kong shot like this before. The filmmaker takes us to many places and has a keen sense of the geography of Hong Kong(I'm from there). I like the fact that it shows that HK has a lot more to offer than just skyscrapers. The tie in to Shanghai which is booming was smart. I really liked the love story and I won't give it away, but you will feel a nudge of emotion. Absolutely good film and I'd like to see more of these actors.
