Audience Member I've never been a fan of the melodrama, and Endless Love is full of it. Even the English title oozes it. That said, for a melodrama, Endless Love isn't bad. Helped by some great music, it is tolerable for someone with my genre tastes - the anti-melodrama, and that at least, is something. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member That's Sean Lau ??? in the film, not Andy Lau! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Masterful, real, unorthodox romantic dramedy about musicians! As a professional musician myself , it really rang true in every sense too. Impressive. Lau Ching-Wan (an actor I never thought much of before) proves himself to be the Gerard Butler of this era here and Anita Yuen performs even better - without even knowing, i suspected she was given the Hong Kong best actress award that year or at least a nomination and it turns out the pair of them both won, and so did some supporting characters, not to mention Best Picture! I wouldn't go that far...I'm hesitant to give it 4.5 stars, but I bet people (chicks) who like this kind of thing would give it a perfect 5 and there's nothing wrong with that assessment. It's like an older, chinese "A Walk To Remember" which people often hold dear too. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member sad love story always touches me. Not to mention the ever lasting theme song. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member An incredible love story of endless love, a songwriter (Kit) who is struggling through life with the troubles that tear at the soul of most me, after breaking up with a star singer (Tracy), with little money to his name he moves into a rundown building, living above a incredibly perky young lady (Min). Min will stop at nothing to get Kit out of his shell. Min's family are street singers and, as Kit soon surmises, the girl has great potential to move beyond this modest existence and into the recording industry. Transformed by his exposure to Min, Kit makes plans with her to start a career, but the unimaginable happens: After over ten years of perfect health, the bone cancer Min experienced as a child has returned. The willpower and zest for living which has helped keep Min alive for this long quickly extinguishes, and it is up to Kit to help her try and regain it. I warn you this is a Tear Jerker. I can give it no less then 4 1/2 stars. . Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't help my tears running down when I watch it. I know this is a very sad film. I know the director is playing every trick to squeeze the tear out from the audience, and yet I still moved by it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
