Critic Reviews
-
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
This sounds like a fairly standard debut. But Wong smothers the story with tremendous style.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
As Tears Go By doesn't measure up to Wong's later classics, such as In the Mood for Love (2000) and Chungking Express (1994), but it shows a master in the making.
-
Nathan Lee, New York Times
Unpersuasive as drama, Tears is the first and last Wong movie touched by any feel of the obligatory.
-
J. Hoberman, Village Voice
Ostensibly a conventional tale of triad loyalty, As Tears Go By announced the presence of a genuine Hong Kong new wave -- as well as an ambitious cineaste.
-
Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion
The pinwheeling, phosphorescent spirit is undiluted Wong Kar-wai
