- standout debut performance from Wei Tang, she pulls off seduction, sympathy, guilt and mystery effortlessly; per usual exceptional perf from Tony Leung, creating an intimidating, complex character
- I never lost interest in its 160 minute running time, but the plot did lollygag a bit
- The sex scenes are indeed the film's best moments. Intensely shot by Rodrigo Prieto, intercourse likely wasn't simulated. The passion is tangible.
- Ending seems a bit rushed, but the scenes preceding it are the best besides the Lust ones.
8/great
