The Review

A love story in my opinion should be just about that, and this movie tries too hard to rope in other aspects into the plot.

Watching this I reckon you need to be a Hong Kong resident to appreciate the nostalgia, as there’s plenty of shots of the location.

I must admit the storyline seems simple, but it peeked my interest. If only the two leads were more convincing.

Throughout the movie I was hoping the pacing of the film would pick-up, but it didn’t.

The Good

• Should be categorised under History genre too, excellent cinematography

The Bad

• Palpable chemistry
• Subplots are distracting
