Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

jynn_dragon Not a good movie to watch, unless you just wanna stare at the gorgeous Vicky Zhao...OK, I'll keep this short, It's about a conservative college woman who goes on blind-dates to meet a guy to marry, she meets a older cocky guy who becomes some what attached to her, Thats the basic outline of the story, Vicky Zhao is a talented actress, she performs well to show her versatility, as I have seen in her previous movies such as the hilarious Shaolin Soccer and the sexy So Close but I wouldn't recommend to watch this movie unless you really love Vicky Zhao........Truth be told, thats kinda the only reason I actually watched it...

redrum_driew Okay, now you will have to forgive me if I am truly the only one who has missed something profound. Mostly I am into HK action, but this movie intrigued me from other's reviews here. However although I found the camera angles and imagery very beautiful, the plot is lacking. This may be because it was lost in translation although the subtitles were at least grammatically correct. The movie kept me involved (unlike most other "artsy" western movies) until it ended suddenly without warning, giving no resolution that I could glean. Overall, unless you actually like art films and can grasp at something deeper or simply want to stare at Vicky Zhao's face, I do not recommend you see this film.

kennynicely Don't pay attention to the star rating, this movie was one of the picks of this years Rotterdam festival. I found it rather confusing at points and this was made no easier by some apparently rushed subtitling, hopefully this will be resolved if it is more widely released. The story centers on a world weary man who becomes obsessed with a serial blind-dating student, who bears a resemblance to a nightclub singer/pianist. The film has the same interesting plot twists that can make new Chinese cinema so good, but benefits enormously from external cinematography courtesy of Chris Doyle. The acting is engaging and the soundtrack excellent. A definite must see if you have an interest in new Chinese cinema.

Thomas_Neville_Servo Jiang Wen and Zhao Wei star in what is probably the most sophisticated romantic drama to hit the film world in years. Fresh off a breakup from his fiance, Chen (Jiang Wen) becomes infatuated with the conservative, mysterious, and story-telling Wu Fang (Zhao Wei) after a blind date. As two polar opposites, both are lonely, depressed, and looking for love. How they go about it and their reasons for doing so are the primary forces that drive the movie. Jiang Wen delivers another great performance as the quirky and sometimes timid Chen, and Zhao Wei has shown that she is becoming increasingly versatile as an actress. Also features beautiful, lush cinematography from the always eccentric Christopher Doyle and a perfectly fitting score from Su Cong. This is not your cookie cutter romantic film. The humor is sparing, the emotions are real, and the sexual tension reaches an all time high. Highly recommended. 10/10
