Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times 02/14/2001
4/5
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. Go to Full Review

3/4
I felt transported back to the 1960s films of Jean-Luc Godard. I was watching a film that was not afraid of its audience. Go to Full Review

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

Kaan B Oct 12 The color palette, camera angles, costumes, and atmosphere were so striking that if I were a photographer, I’d want to capture frames just like the scenes in this film. See more Kevin L Sep 15 The movie has such a promising start, esp. stylistically w/ the camera viewpoint that was chosen and the two initial characters. I enjoyed the pincamera viewpoint and blurred impression of the world these two characters inhabited. It fell apart largely for me over the second half of the film. What about the male character being an assassin was significant initially but not later? Why not deal more w/ the two female figures who were involved? 3 stars See more Aryan G Sep 7 Great movie , everyone should watch it. The movie story is all about the character's facing loneliness but the cinematography and color makes it interesting. 7.5/10 See more Mila V Jul 14 Beautiful.
