A beautiful film about romantic longing, fleeting moments, secrets, and loneliness. It's about two renters who discover their spouses are cheating on them, and this creates a formal and polite bond between them that blossoms into forbidden…

Maybe one of the most beautifully shot movies out there. A wonderfully moody, slow, and quiet drama with excellent nuanced performances by the leads.

"In the Mood for Love" -- exquisitely crafted film paying homage to Shanghainese society in Hong Kong in the early 1960's, reflecting the author's childhood -- hypnotic music -- a movie of moments strung together -- unusual camera angles…

Way too slow for me.

You have to be patient with this film. Yes its pace is on the lazy side, but that works to the story's advantage. It is reminiscent of many of Jim Jarmusch's pictures; in a good way. The cinematography is incredible, as are the simple…

An excellent drama but slow! The cinematography and the acting of lead actor Tony Leung/lead actress Maggie Cheung makes this 1 of the top Hong Kong films.

A heartbreaking but beautifully shot movie about two people discovering their significant other's infidelity. While slow, it is worth a watch as each scene looks like a painting. I loved the soundtrack with the gorgeous costume design!

I'm generally a fan of art-house films... But honestly, this movie was just really boring. Many of the scenes are like 10 minutes long where the camera just pans back and forth with little dialogue.

Slow burning masterpiece one of the great films of this century. Timeless classic filmmaking will be watched for decades. They make love with their eyes and subtle gestures gorgeously photographed and scored. 420~

Not too crazy about the slow pace BUT works wonderfully in showing the tantalizing chemistry between two lonely neighbors: maddening close in physical space - will they or won't they. The visual centered around Maggie Cheung, form fitted…

I must have seen this film before but need to watch it again to comment --- just voted to be the second place greatest film in the 21st century behind Mulholland Drive by the pundits polled by BBC this past week: Top 100 1 Mulholland…

Completely overrated- I found the movie to be stylish, but extremely boring. Don't know what all the fuss is about.

A slow and sensitive film that uses unusual editing and camera angles.

topped my ten best list of movies of the 2000's. Poignant, melodic, and visually striking, a must see. This atmospheric, stylish film was hands down the decade’s best.

An achingly beautiful movie from a wonderful director and top notch actors. Highly recommended if you're wiling to let yourself be absorbed into the atmosphere and music of the film. If you want Hollywood, linear storylines, and a clear…

Wong Kar Wai, one of the best filmmakers in HK delivered a nostalgic story of romance between two strangers living next door to one another in the sixties. Top leading HK actor Tony Leung won the Best Actor Award at Cannes Film Festival…

This is a movie where a lot of important developments are told in vignettes, colors and musical pieces. Its not a movie that is straightforward and many might find it boring. Don't watch unless you're willing to let your self be engrossed…

Theres few films where you can say how much the music holds the film together, this is one of them for sure.
