Wendy Ide Screen International A film that focuses on a literary legacy and Hong Kong’s past, while rather sidestepping the social and artistic realities of Hong Kong’s present, it’s a niche proposition – although certainly one made with a great deal of love. Oct 12, 2023 Full Review Sean Gilman In Review Online The real subject of Elegies, the one on everyone’s mind that no one can come right out and say — they are poets, after all — is the political situation in Hong Kong in the wake of the 2019-2020 protests. Elegies is a lament for a lost Hong Kong. Apr 14, 2024 Full Review Edmund Lee South China Morning Post Hui’s film is as much an elegy for Huang and Liu’s personal pasts in Hong Kong as it is for a city that has since become unrecognisable even for some of its most intimate observers.
