Though the movie could coast on the appeal of handsome faces and stolen trips to Taipei, Liu gives texture to their pretty pining.

Ready Steady Cut

Your Name Engraved Herein has two performances, one electric and the other a slow burn, that complement each other in an emotionally charged film.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Pink Lens

Like the recent Thai Present Perfect films, it feels like love on a micro-scale and not part of something bigger. But unlike its Thai counterpart, it takes itself much more seriously indeed.

Rated: 3/5

Bay Area Reporter

Despite these deficiencies, the film is eminently watchable, especially the second half, aided by the attractiveness of the two main protagonists, who construct a believable erotic chemistry.

A rich story with many layers - full of bittersweet & heartfelt moments I'll remember for a long time. Thank you to the producer for sharing bits of your story in such a vulnerable way. Your film captures the regret & longing many of us feel as we question "what if" life looked differently.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
