At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I don't ever review any movies but I ended up watching this after seeing the 8.0 rating and that rating seems way higher than it should be. I watched this movie because I really liked watching "Already tomorrow in Hong Kong" and I thought this might be similar.
There is no comparison. I have never really been on stage or in a movie and I think I could act better than these actors. The dialogues seem forced and in some places it almost looks like they are recording a reading session rather than an actual scene. There is no emotion. The actors don't seem invested. Its pretty ridiculous.

The absolute beauty of it lies in its a simple love story - of two lives suddenly thrown together in the midst of uncanny timing, and the love story that follows after meeting discovering each other again by unavoidable fate. Elegantly demonstrates how the most fundamental passions of human emotion can envelope two souls caught in a tangling circumstances. The ending is provocative and extremely heartfelt.I saw this film by accident one night late on iTunes. I was still thinking about it the next day at work. I hope by "chance" I see another film like this.

I've never seen Hong Kong shot like this before. The filmmaker takes us to many places and has a keen sense of the geography of Hong Kong(I'm from there). I like the fact that it shows that HK has a lot more to offer than just skyscrapers. The tie in to Shanghai which is booming was smart. I really liked the love story and I won't give it away, but you will feel a nudge of emotion. Absolutely good film and I'd like to see more of these actors.

This is a difficult film to review as there are obvious weaknesses. It is nice to look at and the cinematography balances indifferent acting. The story is not demanding but has a simple charm Old fashioned romance and lost love a story worth telling.. The work which has gone into it does not deserve the vitriolic criticism of one of the reviews posted here any more than it justifies the effusive praise of another.. The director displays some nice touches and must have enjoyed the beautifully framed shot in the chapel towards the end. My compliments to the producer for getting it made and the director for working with limited resources. I for one am grateful to watch a film free of the curse of CGI and noisy intrusive soundtracks I tip my hat to director Derek Ting for telling a simple story well.
