Gene Seymour

An exquisite love story directed with admirable subtlety and sensitivity. Read full review

A.O. Scott

The kind of old-fashioned, grown-up weepie in which the hearts of men and women are cracked, and the shards flutter through the story. Its directness is the movie equivalent of hot, fresh popcorn. Read full review

New Times (L.A.) David Ehrenstein

If this all sounds masochistic, it most certainly is. But the filmmakers have rendered it with such grace and subtlety that the spectacle of three very intelligent people ruining each other's lives becomes irresistibly romantic. Read full review

Chris Gore

Celebrated actor Lin Chung, whose voice seems to articulate something within himself. Read full review

Chuck Wilson

That decade-spanning finale allows the three leads to age onscreen and demonstrate their impressive range, particularly Liu. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

An overwrought Taiwanese soaper. Read full review

Derek Elley

An embarrassing failure at almost every level. Read full review
