Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg ably rise to the occasion and prove to be quite compelling performers. The fact that their natural chemistry is enhanced by the fact of their being a real-life item is just the icing on the cake.

The stakes are not high enough for either character and the two-people-at-a-fork-in-the-road story never comes to life, a practically fatal flaw.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 7, 2020

While much of the film is centered around talking, it's what these characters don't say until they have to that make the film strong and Greenberg and Chung find the truth in these moments.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 26, 2018

An agreeable riff on Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 13, 2018

I want to see more of Jamie Chung on the big screen, and I am intrigued enough by Ting's passion for the project to be interested to see what she does next. But I'm all set with this project.

| Original Score: C | Mar 21, 2017

Slight, but lovely.

| May 3, 2016

A perceptive film that has the self-awareness to make innocuous fun of the much stereotyped expat experience. ... It's sure to enchant with its lavish display of the city's alluring night lights.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 13, 2016

They walk and they talk. And then they walk and talk some. Which is to say that this is a total pedestrian affair.

| Feb 16, 2016

Both performances are charming, but the unsubstantial screenplay is driven by cutesy coincidences.

| Feb 12, 2016

"Already Tomorrow" is about ambivalence, not gratification, and is more interesting for it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 11, 2016

A freshly contemporary change-up on the traditional cross-cultural romantic-comedy.

| Feb 11, 2016

Stories don't come much thinner than the one in "Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong," a will-they-or-won't-they romance that invests a lot in the attractiveness of that city.

| Feb 11, 2016

Ting's occasional insights into characters negotiating cultural differences and professional/personal transitions are bound to linger long after the specific details of its characters have faded from memory.

| Original Score: 6.3/10 | Feb 11, 2016

As both a valentine to new love and Hong Kong's Cantonese cosmopolitanism, it's a breezily enjoyable and heartfelt travelogue.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 11, 2016

Ting and cinematographer Josh Silfen treat their location as a charming, sparkly bubble bustling with romantic potential, and it's great that Chung gets to embody a fully realized character on screen.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 10, 2016

Director Emily Ting, who did live in Hong Kong for five years as an expat, puts her experiences to good advantage to capture the city from an outsider's point of view.

| Original Score: 6 | Feb 9, 2016

Many filmmakers have tried in recent years, but few have nailed the elusive formula of the two-hander romantic comedy quite like Emily Ting with Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong.

| Feb 9, 2016

The script labors to give the film a strong sense of place, but strange lapses confirm a sense that the city isn't a character here.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 7, 2016

...in the mold of classic romance films, but updated for modern sensibilities and set in Hong Kong...

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 28, 2015

This earnest, slight romance doesn't generate enough sparks to overcome the anxiety of its obvious influence. But as a simple valentine to Hong Kong's expat nightlife, the film makes for charming, breezy viewing.
