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.

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.

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.

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.

Astonishing visuals thanks to the sets, lighting and cinematography with an absolutely breathtaking score and soundtrack. It's an absolute treat, lively, a dreamlike tale about a handful interesting characters which are portrayed by just the right cast. Lots of great use of light, color, locations captured in so many creative ways with changing lenses and filters. Dramatic, thrilling, vibrant and full of love, it is a pleasure for eye, ear and heart.

I was a bit let down. I was expecting this to live up to Chungking Express (a top 5 favorite of mine) and it just wasn't that. Nonetheless, Wong Kar-Wai still adds an incredible piece of cinema to his filmography.
