Jimmy and Cherie start new lives in Beijing nine months after their relationship ends.

Anita Li

Toronto Star

While it's not a game-changer, writer-director Ho-Cheung Pang's sharp rom-com, Love in the Buff, is a realistic portrayal of modern love in all its complexity and pain.

Rated: 2.5/4

Andy Webster

New York Times

A romantic comedy that is as interesting for its glimpse into contemporary urban China as it is for the charisma of its leads.

Rated: 3.5/5

V.A. Musetto

New York Post

Unlikely to resonate with Western audiences, who have more than enough sentimental English-language romantic comedies to keep themselves occupied.

Rated: 2/4

Film Journal International

Winning romantic comedy of Hong Kong lovers unable to commit once they move to Beijing. Strong sequel to the cult favorite Love in a Puff.
