A.O. Scott
The New York Times
Probably 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. Full Review

Washington Post
The sexiest movie of the year. Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle
Wong denies us the satisfaction of resolution, but in sharing his mastery of cinema, and his gift for conveying mood, desire and vivid emotions, he's more than generous. Full Review
Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal
Excites us with words not spoken, passions not played out. A mood story more than a love story, it's all about sustaining a state of exquisite melancholy in the face of desire. Full Review
Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times
The result is a kind of ultimate romantic film, joining an almost Jamesian sadness and discipline to that extraordinary visual sensibility. It's not the kind of thing you see every day. Full Review
