There is a solid half of a WKW film in there, and I gravitate towards that and like that but I can understand the criticisms for the film, I just think they are wrong to suggest it has something to do with the shift to America and english speaking dialogue... the shift is the pronounced emphasis on dialogue and narration which was not as emphatic before as it is here.

I think you make some good points and I think the critics have been a bit too harsh. It's not a classic film, but is still interesting... Wong Kar Wai for beginners. :) Forgot to mention the great kiss at the end. Good review. I think you make some good points and I think the critics have been a bit too harsh.
