    I can't help myself but rewatch this whenever I'm in the mood, which is much too often. This film never fails to lift my spirits. There is so much warmth to this film, and I'll never get tired of Gerwig's screenplay. The chemistry between the cast is intoxicating and each performance is wonderful, though Emma Watson's accent doesn't quite hit the mark. It's one of my favourites, and I can't wait to watch this for the rest of my life.

    It's a Filipino historical epic, but I really hated most of the choices made in this film. Nothing in this feels authentic. Characters are caricatures who are either overly serious or ridiculously juvenile. And the film has this awful digital oversaturated look, not to mention the cheap costume designs. The music feels like it's picked out of a stock library and so devoid of personality or thematic ideas that it could belong to any film. Everything about this film feels so dull and lifeless and cheaply made

    A dreamy, sensuous haze of unfulfilled romances that is masterfully composed. I loved this and I would probably have cried if I wasn't watching this in the cinema. We shift from character to character yet every story remains interesting. And Christopher Doyle's cinematography- I just want my whole life to look like this.

    Warm, soft, and calm yet imbued with a permeating, pensive sadness, this is one of Wong Kar-Wai's best.
