Viewing Notes

film gutted me. Leung carries the weight of this emotional journey; it is authentic, desperate and deeply sad. Woo has some fine early work but this film is minus the fluffy accouterments. Relies solely on the strength of what true friends will do for each other. A real punch to the heart.
