There’s a lot more to Wong Kar-Wai than tremendous cinematic skill and distinctive style. He’s got something to say about the modern condition.

Fallen Angels is more challenging visually than any mainstream Hollywood film I've ever seen.
01/01/00
A brilliantly innovative filmmaker who gets his feelings across through the cheeky and sometimes surreal visuals and his cool style of filmmaking.
01/05/07
Wong brings tremendous vigor and audacity to the effort, asking us to question the most basic rules of storytelling and commercial filmmaking.

It has a life of its own, thanks to Wong's over-the-top blend of John Woo-like violence and almost surreal humor.

The film is Wong's most visually striking, with Wong and Doyle constantly inventing intoxicating new angles for every shot.
10/21/08
Like Wong's film stock, whose meager latitude won't let the eye deep into the image, Wong's characters, all 20-something slackers and grotesques, have the same lack of depth.

An exhilarating rush of a movie, with all manner of go-for-broke visual bravura that expresses perfectly the free spirits of [Wong's] bold young people.

Top CriticFallen Angels lunges and chases after its rapidly receding subjects, looking to capture and preserve a trace of their presence before the sun rises and the shadows fade.

Stylish and mesmerizing... Equals the poignance of Chungking Express.

Wong has used practically every cinematic element available to him to create a mood of love gone off the track, drawn-out wishes, time passing emptily, and disconnection.
01/01/00
I felt transported back to the 1960s films of Jean-Luc Godard. I was watching a film that was not afraid of its audience.
