Audience Member The story is about passionate and forbidden love. Starring Charlie Yeung Choi Nei and Carina Lau Ka Ling. Good acting by both actresses. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I've heard of this movie for a while and yet didn't get a chance to watch it till 10+ years later. Charlie's acting actually really surprise me here...she's really spontaneous and real. I think I want to be a lesbian now...guys are all assholes..tru that! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I remember I've watched this one on a LD. It was good to see a HK movie that was so well written and well made. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A women's film, as a good one. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant tearjerker.. Love how real the relationship is between both women. Watching it for the first time 11 years after its release. This film proves to be a true classic. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This was pretty well done. Actually, we had seen it when it first came out, but we couldn't remember what happened. It's nice that a lesbian movie actually has a happy ending. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
