    Visually beautiful, almost lyrical film, very touching and originally told love story. Very well received by the audience at the Gay & Lesbian film festival here in Hamburg.

    A Taiwanese lesbian drama film. Pretty original and simple as well. More about a platonic love that finds a lot of obstacles to happen, so those looking for girl on girl action, will most likely be disappointed. Not that great, but I liked it a lot.

    This was a pretty good watch. It was intriguing, but I did not enjoy the ending. Foreign films are becoming more and more enjoyable for me. I've seen a huge amount of them actually..from a lot of different countries. The story here was pretty interesting..and I actually liked it ...( read more)more until I got to the last quarter of the film. The first 3/4ths were better than the last 1/4th. Disappointing in the end...but besides the that..i'm glad I watched it..well..at least somewhat..
