Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
An already iffy premise is badly served by a film that is tonally jarring.

fresh:
Chow and her actors are so gifted that this fragile situation escapes contrivance to become a poignant, romantic and deftly nuanced revelation of character and emotions.

rotten:
Ridiculously implausible yet still predictable.

fresh:
Movies often make too much of that truism, but surprisingly committed performances from actors like these can still make it feel like something meaningful.

rotten:
So artistically well-intentioned and earnest in its ambitions that you can almost forgive the banality of its every scene.
