    This movie was slow and only mildly fun. I think few people reviewed it and thus it has a high score. I would skip it!

    How could this possibly rank as the all-time 2nd best DVD, after The Godfather and tied with Dr. Strangelove?! It's slow, dull and unaffecting - but inexplicably, another critics' darling. Don't waste your time on this one.

    Pure unadulterated trash!!! What an incredible hoax! I'd rather be watching "The Incredible Mr. Limpett"

    All those seriously interested in foreign cinema are encouraged to take a look at this atmospheric drama -- sure to be remembered as one of the key achievements of the Hong Kong cinema in the 1990s.

    Revived (with vastly improved subtitles) some 14 years after it first stunned Hong Kong critics, Days of Being Wild is a sort of meta-reverie populated by a cast of beautiful young pop icons.

    It's inexplicable that Wong's early masterpiece has been virtually absent from American screens since he completed it in 1991.
