Globe and Mail Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 11, 2002 Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com Any other thematic concern - and there are a few - is hopelessly lost in the wake of all that sweaty, mosquito-net-shrouded sex Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 20, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member No real reason to continue watching because it gets overwhelmed with too much unnecessary gratuitous sex scenes and every imaginable sexual taboo in otherwise conservative Asian society that it forgets to develop it's characters, especially our supposedly tragic hero at center stage of the plot who fails to grasp our attention. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting film if a bit hard to follow at times. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a movie for the kids...minus the bad scenes, it told a really interesting story with a crazy twist at the end. Guess I have to tell the kids it is safe to come out of the room now that it is over! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting, intriguing. Maybe has one or two twists too many at the end, giving a soap-opera feeling, unfortunately, and also that the director was trying to be controversial, rather than make a good movie. Still, it is quite original, and a good drama. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting story, not as sexually driven as you may think it is at first. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know if this is the most awkward sexual awakening/coming of age film I've ever seen, but it's got to be in the running. Just uncomfortable from start to finish, and populated by unlikable characters. The French ran this kind of crap into the ground 30 years ago. Don't bother.
