Los Angeles Times

An exhilarating rush of a movie, with all manner of go-for-broke visual bravura that expresses perfectly the free spirits of [Wong's] bold young people.

Rated: 4/5

Wong brings tremendous vigor and audacity to the effort, asking us to question the most basic rules of storytelling and commercial filmmaking.

There's a lot to like here, from the moodiness of Hong Kong to the music, to Wong Kar-wai's signature stunning lighting.

Feeling lonely and cold in the middle of a crowded city makes me feel strange, but I still have to interact with people even though people won't like me. It doesn't matter, at least I'm happy.

There has never been a more up close, grainy, and handheld style film. Greasy and slick, lives up to its iconic poster. Loved about half of it.

this movie was very weird but interesting at the same time. I regret not knowing that watching Chungking Express would help me understand this movie more but well, whatever, I'll make up for that later. He Zhiwu reminds me a lot of Tyler Durden, and the camera work, especially at the beginning reminds me of Resident Evil 1, lol. I loved the overall vibe of this movie and the fact that all of it happened at night. I'll definitely re-watch it. The cover reminds me of Silent Hill 2, so that's cool.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

I loved everything about this movie. The cinematography & editing is superb, the loose, free, interweaving story is both genuine & engaging. They way this movie was able to immerse me in the nocturnal, underground life of hong-kong was in a manner unlike anything I've seen. My new favorite of Wong-Kar, and I will be sure to consume his other films ASAP.
