User Reviews

A contemplative, if haunting look into seeking love.

This is a hard movie to describe, if you like these types of movies, ones where its mostly conversation and characters struggling to express how they feel, then this could be for you. It is a very well made movie, with good acting and direction, and progresses well until maybe the last twenty minutes.

If you don't like these types of movies, don't watch, it will be slow, plodding and unfulfilling.

And if you don't normally watch movies that seek to be emotional and challenge the viewer to become involved, this may be worth a look if you have the opportunity, but you may enjoy something more suited to your language and culture if you aren't from Taiwan.

It's a good movie, but whether it is enjoyable depends on your mileage.
