(1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 75% Fresh Page   1   "Could it be that the director feels less certain he gets his message across in a language that is not his? Voice overs from several characters are used to make explicit what should ideally have been inferred from what transpires on screen."   european-films.net   Boyd van Hoeij B "Emotionally aloof, but never far from a moment of beauty."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 3.5/5 "mostly a success, though set apart from Wong's previous work in that it won't have people coming back over and over again"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti C- "Critical darling auteur Wong Kar Wai may have a knack for luscious cinematic compositions, but his limited narrative sensibilities hobble this scattershot romantic drama."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Less sensuous than the pie à la mode, more nuanced than the doors opening and closing, cutting the cards might not change any odds, but it does offer an illusion of choice."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs B+ "A movie for those of us who have wanted to see Wong Kar Wai's talents applied to storytelling rather than abstraction."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3/4 "My Blueberry Nights may be a bit more interested in look than feel -- it conveys blue as a color far more effectively than it conveys blue as an emotional state -- but it's a feast of beauty while it gracefully unfolds on-screen."   Cinematical   James Rocchi 65/100 "To complain that it is hardly a film that shows Wong at the height of his power is to close oneself off to the small, somewhat lovely pleasures that it manages to offer."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 3.5/5 "General audiences will likely be lost, but the film's cast list may just attract those who were wanting for Wong Kar Wai and had yet to find him. And if the film can win the auteur even more fans, then it can't really be that bad."   IGN Movies   Joe Utichi 2/5 "yperstylizarismeno mehri asfyksias, horis polla-polla apo oysia na anastatonoyn ton enthoysiasmo toy Kar Wai me ta filtra kai ta hromata kai ta fota apo neon kai toys kapnoys kai tis myrodies tis Amerikis"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis "Like My Blueberry Nights, [Jones' Elizabeth] is a looker with depressingly little going on beneath her striking facade."   Cinematical   Nick Schager 5/5 ""My Blueberry Nights" is perhaps the most deliriously entertaining thing that Wong has ever made, at least since the equally rapturous "Chungking Express.""   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 3/5 "Wong Kar Wai's American debut is as gorgeously filmed as you'd expect, but it's also surprisingly mopey and downbeat for a story about love."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B+ "My Blueberry Nights captures the overwhelming and uncontrollable emotional assault of loving and living through captured moments and sensuous images."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "This is a kind of storytelling I love, about moments captured in time, about the sensuality of image, about the overwhelming emotional assault of loving and living."   Seanax.com   Sean Axmaker 6/10 "Like the pies that give the film its title, My Blueberry Nights is really just a dessert, something sweet and mostly insubstantial."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 75% Fresh Page   1
