Leave your thoughts about My Blueberry Nights.
| eFilmCritic.comPeter Sobczynski"My Blueberry Nights" is perhaps the most deliriously entertaining thing that Wong has ever made, at least since the equally rapturous "Chungking Express." |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeIt's essentially a gloriously romantic film made by a very romantic filmmaker who can see beauty where none supposedly exists. |
| Windy City TimesRichard KnightMy Blueberry Nights at any length doesn't begin to answer the question why Jones, who seems nice in a bland, girl next door way, would ever be tapped to star in a movie. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonWong's beautiful frames, filled with windows, lights and colors and a dazzling array of sounds (from distant thunder to tinkling bracelets) establish his all-important mood |

| Portland OregonianShawn LevyIt's a stylish and sweet film with moments of affecting brilliance that counterbalance its flaws. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasWong's visions of a New York café, a Memphis bar, and a Vegas casino--not to mention the swaths of beautiful country in the Southwest--have that enveloping quality that make his films so persistently seductive. The natives should feel flattered. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin... dreamy, woozy, elliptical and gorgeously infused with orange-red light and smeary Matisse blues. It's visually beautiful and its open-ended narrative is loose and suggestive |
