Beautiful, emotional, a story full of diverse moments, relationships, that ultimately create your perception and who you are in the world, a film you should watch again and again.

Ok, it's 2025 now. Age doesn't seem too hard on it. The acting is ok. I'm not sure why the raves unless it's b/c it was 'Something' 20 years ago- doesn't seem like it would've been?? The movie LOOKS alright, the set design is good. The story is meh. The pacing is very slow and methodical. Characters staring off into the distance... contemplating? It's just one irrelevant scene after the other. I didn't connect to any of them nor did I find them interesting enough to want to. I'm not going to trash it as people must've liked it for a reason. I also can't find what that reason is. I don't plan on adding it to my collection. (I watched the trailer for it so I was excited to watch, it just wasn't anything to it)

How do you follow up to a perfect movie? You can't. It was bound to disappoint. It was still a solidly good movie, but as a sequel, it wasn't enough. The CGI quality also took away from the movie.

I'll just say that it is one of my all-time favorites.

Is Chow a fool? There's much love right there, offering itself to him. As another lovelorn drunken fool writer was advised when describing a night from his own vagabond life, having turned down an offer after thinking she was a working girl- "Always take the chance that she might be out just for love". But then Chow's hardly alone. There's fools aplenty in Wong Kar-wai's brilliant trilogy. And there's probably more tears shed in them than any other trilogy ever. 2046 alone seems to have someone in deep pangs of sorrow. "2046" is another gorgeous film by a master, and for me the single finest Chinese/Hong Kong director of his time. These films exude class, style, lush colors and clothing, and great craft. But they also showcase Wong's exceptional skill with telling stories that reflect social customs of their place and time as well as the great depth and complexities of lust, love, and loss. Tony Leung is remarkable as a sultan of seduction and cool. The detached ladies man, writer, and poor gambler is an awesome character. Also good are Faye Wong and Carina Lau as two more room 2046 residents struggling with their own bluebirds of happiness, and Gong Li as another Su Li-zhen who passes through Chow's lifeline. Then there's Zhang Ziyi as Bai Ling, my favorite character along with Chow. She's a stunning, flirtatious femme fatale of sorts. She falls all the way for Chow, but he's stuck in part in his 'play-it-cool' mode, but more than that it's his fixed and set love for Su Li-zhen. And these actual stories inform Chow's writing, providing depth, realism and great fodder for readers looking for romance, the tragic, and science-fiction elements. Oh if we could just whisper our wishes into a tree hole, cover them, and wait. A beauty this is. 4.2 stars

Another beautiful movie from Wang Kar Wai, and a wonderful sequel to In the Mood for Love. So full with emotion and meaning.

A fine drama about a man trying to deal with losing the love of his life. So much about the emotional experience he has and how he tries to deal with it. The plot is a bit weird but it...

Gorgeous film. I wish there were more like this.

Couldn't understand. I even didn't keep aware to the end because I was tired. I'll try to get it again.

Chow (Tony Leung) writes science fiction stories to make ends meet, using individuals he meets in his real life, primarily women who rent the hotel room next to his, to create characters in his fantasy world. It is a story about unrequited love and our insatiable need to relive past memories, especially those memories that relate to love. While the story is sometimes maddeningly complex, director Wong Kar Wai's follow-up to the beautiful In the Mood for Love is stunning to look at, bathed in a vibrant color palette that washes over the viewer. 2046 may not be a film that will be fully understood on the first viewing or appreciated by all audiences, but it is worth watching for the wonder of its visuals.

On an indie budget, Wong Kar-Wai brings us a sci-fi/dystopian romance in '2046' with it's 5-part story structure, character studies and magical color pallette.

What did I watched? It's very deep and uneasy to understand. Don't try to understand it, feel it. (From Tenet)

This is mostly a "style over substance" work and definitely not the best one of the trilogy.

This movie is so pretentious, weird robotic scripts and poor acting. Wong-Kar-Wai tried way too hard to make another artistic movie but this just doesn't work. I enjoy many European artist movies but It's straight up boring, don't waste your time, this is the worst movie I've seen in 2021. What else can go wrong?!?!

This film did not connect with me at all. It was visually pleasing, and had some tender/melancholy moments, but I had two major issues...most of the characters breeze in and out so briefly they are simply silhouettes and I certainly couldn’t care about them. Even the protagonist lacks personality. The only glimpse of real personality was in Zhang Zhiyi’s character. Secondly, the script/screenplay seemed pieced together, meandering, repetitive, sometimes redundant, sometimes nonsensical, with tangents that you expect to have greater significance later, but that never re-emerge. Nice music, though.

One of those "artistic" movies that leaves guys like me wondering if they were made boring on purpose so the filmmakers could claim to be more sophisticated and intelligent than us, Tip o' the hat to Zhang Ziyi for her excellent performance though.

Wong Kar-wai creates melancholic moods in one of his best films.

No es mala... aunque siendo honesto, luego de "In the Mood for Love" esperaba algo más.

The most complex of the so called trio of Kar-Wai's films dedicated to the set of stories revolving around the 60's Hong Kong. Obviously dealing with his own memories Kar-Wai manages to depict the vulnerable nature of time and senses in the picture, which features some extraordinary performances from the cast.

Nice movie, great shots and good acting
