Chungking Express

"I get that it's part of the Criterion Collection for a reason, but I just found this movie to be boring and tedious and repetitive. The first couple times California Dreamin' played it was fitting and appropriate. After the 5th to 8th times I wanted to scream. I get that they were trying to make a point with the song but it was overkill imo. Good cinematography and soundtrack otherwise but not much substance to make up the rest. "

"Probably my fourth watch of this movie, truly a great film. Loved Wong Kar Wai's works, it has this kind of energy in his films that's a pleasant to watch. Love how the story unfolds and the music is center of it all, once you watch this movie you will never forget it. If you call yourself a film buff, this is a must watch."

"I good film (despite the first 1/3… which I didn’t connect with). Recommended viewing… but I think one would have had to watch it around the time it came out to consider it particularly noteworthy. "

"Cinematography was great for sure but no specific plot like not at all and a crazy girl, how the f you can just break into someone else's house tidy up and change their belongings and whhyyyyy you psycho "

"Love the handheld camera-work style, transitions, soundtrack, and selection of characters. Reminds me of amores perros in regards to the organization of the plot and its deep dive into urban loneliness and romance reminiscent of 'Her' or 'El Refugio de Los Insomnes' which are all (duh) movies id recommend. "

"The second story is one of my favorite pieces of film. Bonus points for California Dreaming and departures. ;)"

"Loved this! Watched it in my Chinese film class."

"Get a can of pineapple before watching."

"Love this movie. Strange love. Quirky characters. Beautiful cinematography. Unique and fulfilling. "

"Not much substance storywise, but amazing for if you just want to escape and catch some atmospheric vibes, which I'm pretty sure is exactly what it was meant to be."
