Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kevin ThomasChungking Express ravishingly, seductively exudes the immediacy of everyday life as its spins its classically timeless tales of love lost and almost regained.
People Magazine - 10/10 by Leah RozenNeither of the movie's two stories makes complete sense, but that hardly matters. This is like being inside a pinball machine with a toddler at the controls.
Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonChungking Express is unlike almost any film I have ever seen, and yet it is like almost every film I have ever seen. Its imagination, character and vitality set it apart from its peers.
San Francisco Examiner - 10/10 by Walter V. AddiegoIt's full of surprises in the manner of the French New Wave.
San Francisco Examiner - 9/10 by Walter AddiegoThis is filmmaking of high energy and wit. What it adds up to is debatable. You can view it as a bright twist on the being-a-cop-is-lonely sort of police picture, or as a mini-anthology of quirky not-quite-love stories. If it's hard to say where Chungking Express arrives, the trip is still exhilarating.
ReelViews - 9/10 by James BerardinelliWong infuses his films with style and energy. His hand-held camera is restless, always moving and shifting. The action sequences are punctuated with unusual shots and stop-motion jumps. By filming Chungking Express in such rich, vibrant manner, the director uses visual images to underscore his themes.
Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Matt NollerTo Wong, love isn't something you can talk about; words are inadequate, empty, inevitably reductive. Love is something you see, sense, feel, and Chungking Express is one of Wong's purest evocations of its excitement and heartbreak.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael WilmingtonChungking Express is a breezy little Hong Kong movie that has more life, energy, humanity and sheer visual zing than most other shows you'll see in a month or so. And, an hour after watching it, you may indeed be hungry for more. Not necessarily because the show is shallow or unsatisfying, or doesn't leave a strong impression, but because the spontaneity and high energy of it is what's so much fun.
Variety - 9/10 by Derek ElleyA quicksilver magical mystery tour through the lives of a bunch of young downtown loners.
Time Out - 9/10 by Tony RaynsThis is what Godard movies were once like: fast, hand-held, funny and very, very catchy.
