A take-no-prisoners movie from one of Hong Kong's most idiosyncratic, shoot-from-the-hip filmmakers that's the very antithesis of sentimental gay love stories.

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

You don't watch this film as much as grab on to it. Letting it jerk you every which way is a jangly but interesting ride.

Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle

Wong doesn't show us any of the sparks that can still be struck between lovers who argue constantly.

Charles Taylor, Salon.com

Sexy, spiky love story.

Were Kerouac, William Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg alive today, and able to see what Wong has done here ... they'd be thrilled and invigorated.

Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle
