If only the soundtrack would've been a bit better, this film could have turned out to be a small masterpiece.

A stylish lesbian drama that turned quite a few heads in Hong Kong. Not because it is so outrageous (on the contrary), it's just that Hong Kong is pretty prudish when it comes to LGBTQ+ topics. The film felt more like a Taiwanese drama to me, sporting lovely cinematography, toned-down performances, and slow but deliberate pacing. There's nothing too novel or original here, but the execution is flawless and the film hits all the right notes.
