i like its story about the need for love, its what we all want.
even more so when we don't have it but i thought the film was rather fine in its characters. the performances are great. there isn't specifically much wrong with it but im not that big of a fan of the characters.
they are relatable in their desire for love but there isn't much else for me to grapple on.i like the cinematography, direction and again, performances but all feels....idk uninteresting.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dreamy, digressive portrait of two lonely men in Hong Kong, each chasing love in different directions, told with visual playfulness and a melancholic pop-culture hum. It's less about narrative resolution than the ache of proximity and missed connection.
