What are critics saying?

Boston Globe by

A subtly comic, ultimately moving film about modern adult relationships.

60

Village Voice by Amy Taubin

An intelligent, perceptive film. It's good enough to make you wish Chen hadn't sacrificed emotional complexity for a last-minute surprise.

70

New Times (L.A.) by Andy Klein

The repetitious structure begins to grow wearing about two-thirds through, but the conclusion has an emotional wallop that justifies the wait.

70

Film.com by Henry Cabot Beck

By no means any kind of masterpiece, but viewed as one might any number of American or European independents of similar theme and nature, it not only stands its ground, but is at times one or two notches better than many of them.

70

TV Guide Magazine by Ken Fox

Each scene is beautifully written and exquisitely shot, and the sum total is an unusually perceptive picture of urban loneliness.

80

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

Director Chen Kuo-fu adds a refreshingly wry humor to this view and then deftly throws in some wrenching moments and an ultimately astounding final twist.
