Not the best Wong film

Gah, I wanted to love it being a huge fan of Wong Kar Wai's work...but I just didn't. Being the sequel to 'In the Mood for Love', which is one of my favourite films, I expected it to be at least close to that one but it is convoluted and the Sci fi segments just feel tagged on and unnecessary.

Doyle's visuals and the performances are excellent but that's about it. There are too many switching timelines, characters and subplots. It feels like a short film idea wong had that he was pressured into making into a full feature, such is the adulation of the previous film, and it just feels weighed down by the expectations. Glad I watched it but a bit of a let down.

6.4/10
