"Instead of asking us to identify with this couple, as an American film would, Wong asks us to empathize with them; that is a higher and more complex assignment, with greater rewards."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"'In the Mood for Love'' is 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, a spirit found in F. Scott Fitzgerald, the best Roxy Music and minor-key romantic movies like the forgettable 1956 ''Miracle in the Rain,'..."
- Elvis Mitchell, New York Times
"Governed by laws as strict as the old Hollywood production code, it's rhapsodically sublimated and ultimately sublime."
- J. Hoberman, Village Voice
..........

2046
2004, Hong Kong, 129 minutes, 35mm, Sony Pictures Classics

"Quite simply an incomparably sublime work of art, a triumph of lyricism over narrative in the cinema, and the most exquisite homage to the beauty of women it has ever been my privilege to witness on the screen."
- Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
"A gorgeous, fevered dream of a movie that blends recollection, imagination and temporal dislocation to create an emotional portrait of chaos in the aftermath of heartbreak."
- Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times
"The result is an unqualified triumph."
- Manohla Dargis, New York Times
