Nesbit 10/10 "This heartbreaking tale of unrequited (or is it?) love is an elegant romance for the ages and a masterpiece of its genre."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/4 "In the Mood for Love shows why devoted fans like his work. It also also shows why Wong isn't more popular with mainstream audiences."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 4.5/5 "If [Edward Hopper's] paintings showed motion, it would be the fluid, slow camera movement of this film"   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. "I, the viewer, want Chow and Mrs. Chan to be together and feel the anguish at every missed opportunity."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 10/10 "In the Mood for Love is a film sketched almost entirely in suggestion, at once Wong's most deftly cinematic work and his most aloof."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "A Hong Kong film about the intricate dance of love and loss between two courteous individuals."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat B- Read review   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
