9/10
"This intriguing blend of nostalgia, science fiction, and timeless melancholy will still be haunting viewers in 2046 and beyond."  Movie Gazette  Anton Bitel

4.5/5
"the ultimate expression of Wong's sinuous vision and perhaps a goodbye to it"  Filmcritic.com  Chris Barsanti

86/100
"Seductive and luscious, a cinematic smorgasbord of sensuous delight."  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

B
"Visually stunning."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

2/4
"Like In the Mood for Love, 2046 is gorgeous through and through, intoxicating even, but not necessarily in a good way."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

4/5
"Wong Kar-wai confirma, por si hacía falta, que es uno de los cineastas más precisos e integrales de la actualidad."  Uruguay Total  Enrique Buchichio

"In the mood for sublimity"  CinePassion  Fernando F. Croce

C
"While 2046 looks absolutely radiant, its deliberately choppy structure and mannered style make it very heavy going...like watching a brilliant paint job dry in a storm."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/4
"Visually ravishing and deeply melancholy."  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

'3.5/4'
"An oblique ode to the enduring intrigues of unrequited love."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

9/10
"If there's truth to the theory that the most interesting art is borne from the troubled soul, then 2046 is part of the proof."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Jeffrey Chen

7/10
"...a cinematic equivalent of a gorgeous painting/poem with hidden meanings..."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

"It’s not Wong Kar-Wai's best work, but you can still feel a genius at work."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

B+
"It is Ziyi Zhang who owns 2046,, pulling us in as her coquetry turns into unrequited need. She's phenomenal in a film that's a 'Who's Who' of Chinese actresses."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

4/5
"An intoxicatingly beautiful, maddeningly elliptical and utterly enthralling meditation on the fleeting pleasures and haunting aftermath of doomed romance."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

3.5/4
"An engaging drama and character study, but without much to rally behind"  Movie Habit  Marty Mapes

B
"A letdown."  Lessons of Darkness  Nick Schager

2/5
"Tematicamente óbvio e pouco ambicioso, 2046 é um filme que enche os olhos, mas que não tem muito a oferecer à mente e ao coração."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

4/5
"It's too much to take at times, and rather confusing, but it's also breathtakingly passionate."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

B
"A visual feast, and it is very emotionally moving."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

B
"2046 is a must for fans of Wong Kar Wai with its subtle intrigues and interesting character studies."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

A
"... rich, lush -- simply exquisite"  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

2.5/4
"Wong might be making a stab at illustrating self-destruction as the only possible aftermath of arriving late at the station to greet the love of your life."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
