A visual masterpiece, Wong Kar-wai's stylized mannerisms waffle between artifice and a certain coldness that is only overcome in the end by dramatic and emotional intensity.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 2, 2022

...an awkward exercise in translating Wong kar-Wai to a Western setting.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 27, 2021

This film has the right ingredients. There just seems to have been a problem with the baking.

The colorful imagery and varied locales cannot conceal the film's meager contents.

[Wong Kar Wai's] English debut possesses, in addition to the typical tourist gaze that any somewhat tacky foreigner would adopt, everything that makes a film his own - neon lights, dreamy atmospheres, furtive glances. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2020

Slim pickings for fans of this master filmmaker.

The too-neat screenplay doesn't allow for nearly as much improvisation as Wong's earlier Hong Kong reveries, but this impressionistic canvas is still profoundly sensuous and floridly vulnerable

Three years after 2046, Wong Kar-wai is not in love any more--and I for one am happy for him.

a languorously slow-baked affair

That's another thing about Wong: even when you're not quite sure what he's trying to say, or if he actually has anything to say, you get your money back in the beauty with which he says it.
