While both Lau and Wei give decent performances independently, there is barely a spark between them on screen.

Clarence Tsui

The Hollywood Reporter

More affected than affecting, A Tale of Three Cities offers neither the best nor the worst of times; instead, it's a surprisingly middling if mildly entertaining affair conjured out of one extraordinary real story.

An epic romance based on the lives of Jackie Chan parents. No, not terrible as you'd think...

Rated: 2.5/5

The New Paper (Singapore)

... realistic acting and amazing on-screen chemistry make for a heartwarming tale of love and resilience that will move even the hardest of hearts.

Yip Wai Yee

The Straits Times (Singapore)

[Tang Wei and Lau Ching Wan's] ill-fated romance, which takes them from Anhui to Shanghai and then Hong Kong in 1930s war-torn China, is moving and believable, even if they appear utterly mismatched at first.

Rated: 3/5

South China Morning Post

Considering the star power of its two leads, it is a pity that this film wasn't conceived as more of a two-hander.

Rated: 3/5
