Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

OllieSuave-007 This is a powerful movie from Taiwan, where the lives of three women in different stages of their lives - ages 20, 30, 40 - face the consequences and hardships of their roles in life.I first saw this movie on a plane-ride to China, and it was well worth the hour and a half plus time. I've found the lead actresses, Sylvia Chang, Rene Liu and Angelica Lee to have given very powerful and commanding performances in their respective roles, provided much drama, realism and heartfelt moments in making the movie engaging and captivating.While a film that could give you a few tears, this movie also has some humor that will give you a few chuckles, particularly in the part where Sylvia Chang's character try to outwit her love-starve tennis instructor lover.I also particularly enjoy the sincere portrayal of Rene Liu's character, how her struggles and hardship of failed relationships and life-on-the-rocks livelihood are detailed; her praying upon the grave of her deceased mother to help her through the hard times is emotional. Their portrayals of their lives could be something you could relate to in real life.While the three women are not related in the story, the story cleverly makes connections and plot twists involving the three. There are some moments where the plot does drag on at times, but not to the point of sheer boredom. Overall, a very nice drama from director Sylvia Chang.Grade B+

Armand Questions. One answer. And search of self - definition. Tales of three lives. And crumbs of their world as seeds for happiness. A movie like a dance in rain. Cloudy, clear,cold, fresh, fragile limits. Mirrors of ages and pieces of freedom. A earthquake and some flowers. Not remarkable film but one of many who creates a circle of memories and nostalgic questions. Puzzle , game and exercise of feminine essence. Ordinaries facts and levels of beauty. Essay about small things and relationship. Fights against errors and woman as axis of basic truth. At final, masks of same person or just steps in park evening. Sensitive, delicate, minor, strange, common. A movie. Like open window.

Harry T. Yung SpoilersI have heard too many radio interviews of the three leading ladies to be immune from their effect. The deeply ingrained concept, before I saw the movie, was that 20 is about having all the time in the world and nothing to lose, 30 is about crossroads and choices and 40 is about having no choice and hence complete liberation. While there is a fair amount of truth in these generalizations, there is not much originality.The movie is made up of three stories (or sketches, which would be a better description), written separately by the three actresses Sylvia Chang (40), Rene Liu (30) and Lee Sinje (20). Obviously, one would not expect the brilliant interconnection of the three as in Inarritu's films. The three sketches are independent and whatever links we see are entirely inconsequential. One thought that I have though (my own, not from listening to the radio interviews), is that these three could very well be the same person, at different cross-sections of her life.Of the three sketches, 30 and 40 depict things that work themselves through daily, if not hourly, in all big cities in every continent: a flight attendant at a crossroad with her romantic interludes and a divorcee searching for a new balance in her life. With limited scope to work with, the two award-winning actresses do whatever they can with some good results here and there. They did not get much help though. 30's two romantic objects are mere cardboard, although the final encounter gets a bit better. 40's episode oscillates between run-of-the-mill comedy and occasional nice touches.Back to the radio interview, Lee Sinje said that when she delivered her script to director Sylvia Chang, she wasn't sure if it would be accepted. Without even blinking, Chang took it. This sketch of 20 is certainly more refreshing than the other two, tackling the relationship between two girls that tread subtly between friendship and sexual love. The performance of Lee, also award-winning, does not suffer in comparison with Chang and Liu, although all three might be said to be `acting themselves', to a degree. Worth mentioning is Kate Yeung who, playing the other girl, is billed in the credit under `Introducing'. Based on her performance, she has every right to be billed as the fourth lead. A star-studded supporting cast (Anthony Wong, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Ren Xian Qi) ensures a good draw. On the opening night I went to, there were a lot of laughs from people who must have felt compelled to laugh simply because Anthony Wong was speaking a line.While on the whole somewhat sketchy, the movie is enjoyable, but not as good as director Chang's previous work Xin Dong (1999) which goes considerably deeper into the characters.

DaStudmuffin That movie is by far the best I've seen in a long time. And one thing speaks for itself. There was big applause in the Theater after the movie. That's a thing I haven't seen in years. Every thing just fits: the characters, the story,... Those three women actually do not meet each other, but their destinies do in a unique way. The movie is very funny. I laughed tears. But You never get the feeling that the topic has been made rediculous. It's still a serious. But still you have to consider this a romantic comedy that's just made for watching on Valentines Day (well, I did that).
