Even if Wong Kar Wai and Lawrence Block's My Blueberry Nights doesn't have a high-pitch note to whistle the beauty of romance, it still has a firm mood that audiences will feel awry about.

the interpretation of Norah Jones is the very nice surprise of a very bad film. a film with a ridiculous plot and nothing to say.

Not very engaging, hard to see Jones as an actress when she is also singing for the film's theme...disappointing..

This movie was engaging, but the plot failed miserably. The screen writer should have done more with Norah Jones character.

5.5/10. My Blueberry Nights has all the right ingredients, a skillful director, great cast, good story, but for me it just didn't work and I found my mind wandering and not wanting to stay focused. It lacked character depth.

Characters were undeveloped, I couldn't feel empathy for anyone. I'm a fan of Norah Jones' music but her acting semed very flat. A forgettable movie.

No moviemaker is infallible, that's for sure, but even for things to go wrong for them there are levels.

However, beyond how incoherent its plot seems at times, what I can't understand is how Wong Kar-wai accepted Norah Jones as the lead actress. In a story where she shares the screen with actors like Jude Law David Strathairn Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman, she is the weakest link, and this happens in all her scenes, and that is why this turns out to be incredibly undermining for his film, because she clearly didn't have the range to lead this project. What I can say in short accounts is that both because of its director and because the story has some plot allure, My Blueberry Nights deserves to be seen, but honestly this is the most disappointing work I've seen from this excellent filmmaker.… Expand

This is, and I hate to say it, Wong Kar-wai at his most immature, trying to enthrall the audience who are first introduced to his cinema in his English feature debut with his sensual and lustrous visuals as if they were, in themselves, what made him the idiosyncratic and influential filmmaker he is. Lost love and faded dreams are, more or less, the essential themes that reverberate through each of his art pieces. Yet, the doubt he's treading familiar ground over and over again has never crossed my mind when I see his characters amidst their feelings of longing, indulging in pain. Sadly, I felt that here, the thing that forced me to judge this film outside the canon of "WKW Cinema." For the first time, it sounds that he exposes some sort of lack of confidence, as if he deals with his freewheeling, near-plotless and episodic nature of his films as flaws that need to be sorted out by bashfully concealing them in the midst of the superfluous use of step-printing alongside the charm of hollywood actors starring this film. But, and as the movie obliterated any chance it would be judged within the canon of "WKW Cinema," I have to say that My Blueberry Nights is an irresistibly delectable treat with a fairly tasteful romantic flavour enough to mellow my heart and no shortage of cherries on the top served by the appeal and the charisma of the cast.
