Movie Reviews

Senses of Cinema - 10/10 by Stephen TeoIt's hard to think of a recent movie that offers just such abstract ingredients that are by themselves sufficient reasons to see the picture.
Time Out - 10/10 by Tony RaynsEvery charged frame of the film pulses with the central contradiction between repression and emotional abandon; the formalism and sensuality are inextricable.
Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Ed GonzalezIn the Mood For Love is ravishing beyond mortal words.
The New York Times - 10/10 by A.O. ScottProbably the most breathtakingly gorgeous film of the year, dizzy with a nose-against-the-glass romantic spirit that has been missing from the cinema forever.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 10/10 by Steven ReaWong weaves a spell that no other director could create.
Reeling Reviews - 10/10 by Robin CliffordI, the viewer, want Chow and Mrs. Chan to be together and feel the anguish at every missed opportunity.
Boston Phoenix - 10/10 by Peter KeoughFor Wong, the mood for love is at best nostalgia; even when consummated, love is gone before you know it, an absence never filled.
Reeling Reviews - 10/10 by Laura CliffordThis heartbreaking tale of unrequited (or is it?) love is an elegant romance for the ages and a masterpiece of its genre.
Film Journal International - 10/10 by David NohWong brews up a vividly colored, highly atmospheric world in which every frame is brimful of life.
New York Post - 10/10 by Jonathan ForemanThere may be no more sensual director in the world today than Hong Kong's Wong Kar-Wai.
