A sensitive and emotional journey.
Yes, my rating may be high, but I don’t think undeservedly so.It’s hard to know where to start for this review, the film’s cinematography is stunning, attention to detail is just-so, while the characters are realistic and truly embodied by their actors. The soundtrack matched perfectly the events onscreen. When I left the cinema, walking home quietly at night, life felt beautiful. That is the feeling this film left me with.
I also loved the creative decisions made in storytelling, which added major depth and impact to scenes that may have stood out less otherwise. I love the film in a quiet and reflective sense; it doesn’t rush to throw so many things at the viewer at once (with the possible exception of subtitles, being a bilingual film). In that sense the film is much like a journey you go on together with the leads.
The attention to detail with language was not lost on me, as the characters knew each other longer, their language abilities noticeably grew and improved, which may seem small but is of major importance.
I have, at most, one critique for the film; which would relate to it being a bit cliché with one element, but this didn’t take away from my viewing experience, nor that of the friend next to me who didn’t notice it.
If you can watch this in cinemas I absolutely recommend doing so; albeit if you aren’t relatively fluent and literate in Mandarin or Japanese, it may be linguistically tricky. If you’re looking at this sometime in the future and debating if it’s worth your time, please give it a go!

Cần ngay một anh xe ôm tên Hứa Quang Hán :))))
Điểm cộng:- Cảnh quay đẹp dã man. Nào là cảnh đầy tuyết trắng ở Nhật Bản, cảnh thả đèn trời tại Đài Bắc.
- Một anh Hán hóa thân vào vai Jimmy tuổi 18 tràn đầy nhiệt huyết làm mình vô tình nhớ tới một ánh trăng sáng trong lòng mình là Lý Tử Duy năm ấy.
Điểm trừ:
- Mình coi được 30 phút trong rạp là mí mắt mình sụp xuống và muốn đi về rồi. Cốt truyện không quá đặc sắc mà phải nói là dẫn dắt như hạch ấy :))))) Nếu không vì anh Hán thì mình cũng không bỏ tiền đi xem rồi.
