felipe l Beautiful, emotional, a story full of diverse moments, relationships, that ultimately create your perception and who you are in the world, a film you should watch again and again. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/25 Full Review Audience Member Ok, it's 2025 now. Age doesn't seem too hard on it. The acting is ok. I'm not sure why the raves unless it's b/c it was 'Something' 20 years ago- doesn't seem like it would've been?? The movie LOOKS alright, the set design is good. The story is meh. The pacing is very slow and methodical. Characters staring off into the distance... contemplating? It's just one irrelevant scene after the other. I didn't connect to any of them nor did I find them interesting enough to want to. I'm not going to trash it as people must've liked it for a reason. I also can't find what that reason is. I don't plan on adding it to my collection. (I watched the trailer for it so I was excited to watch, it just wasn't anything to it) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Leprechaun K How do you follow up to a perfect movie? You can't. It was bound to disappoint. It was still a solidly good movie, but as a sequel, it wasn't enough. The CGI quality also took away from the movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review Marilyn K I'll just say that it is one of my all-time favorites. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Kevin L Is Chow a fool? There's much love right there, offering itself to him. As another lovelorn drunken fool writer was advised when describing a night from his own vagabond life, having turned down an offer after thinking she was a working girl- "Always take the chance that she might be out just for love". But then Chow's hardly alone. There's fools aplenty in Wong Kar-wai's brilliant trilogy. And there's probably more tears shed in them than any other trilogy ever. 2046 alone seems to have someone in deep pangs of sorrow. "2046" is another gorgeous film by a master, and for me the single finest Chinese/Hong Kong director of his time. These films exude class, style, lush colors and clothing, and great craft. But they also showcase Wong's exceptional skill with telling stories that reflect social customs of their place and time as well as the great depth and complexities of lust, love, and loss. Tony Leung is remarkable as a sultan of seduction and cool. The detached ladies man, writer, and poor gambler is an awesome character. Also good are Faye Wong and Carina Lau as two more room 2046 residents struggling with their own bluebirds of happiness, and Gong Li as another Su Li-zhen who passes through Chow's lifeline. Then there's Zhang Ziyi as Bai Ling, my favorite character along with Chow. She's a stunning, flirtatious femme fatale of sorts. She falls all the way for Chow, but he's stuck in part in his 'play-it-cool' mode, but more than that it's his fixed and set love for Su Li-zhen. And these actual stories inform Chow's writing, providing depth, realism and great fodder for readers looking for romance, the tragic, and science-fiction elements. Oh if we could just whisper our wishes into a tree hole, cover them, and wait. A beauty this is. 4.2 stars Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/04/23 Full Review Cem Y Another beautiful movie from Wang Kar Wai, and a wonderful sequel to In the Mood for Love. So full with emotion and meaning. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
