  • Starring: Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Norah Jones
  • Summary: In Wong Kar Wai's debut English-language feature, the internationally acclaimed director takes his audience on a dramatic journey across the distance between heartbreak and a new beginning. After a rough breakup, Elizabeth sets out on a trip across America, leaving behind a life of memories, a dream, and a soulful new friend, a cafe owner, all to search for something to mend her broken heart. Waitressing her way through the country, Elizabeth befriends others whose yearnings are greater than hers, including a troubled cop, his estranged wife, and a down-on-her luck gambler with a score to settle. Through these individuals, Elizabeth witnesses the true depths of loneliness and emptiness, and begins to understand that her own journey is part of a greater exploration within herself.

    Captures the overwhelming and uncontrollable emotional assault of loving and living through captured moments and sensuous images.

    The director is chasing a mood here -- a mood, an atmosphere and feelings -- much as he did in "In the Mood for Love."

    Fractured, tentative, oh-so-artsy and very much in the style of Wong's previous Hong Kong-set boy-meets-girl movies. But this time, the effect is contrived: a star-driven pseudo-indie affair that will please neither celebrity worshipers nor cineastes.

    One of Wong's best films. The subtlety and craftsmanship remain as he transposes his work into the American idiom. A fantastic piece on love and the waves it sends through people.… Expand

    Characters were undeveloped, I couldn't feel empathy for anyone. I'm a fan of Norah Jones' music but her acting semed very flat. A forgettable movie.… Expand

    Horrible photocopy of Wong's previous films (notably the magnificent Chungking Express)... but it's now in speak English! The movie scores '1' for any English speakers frightened by subtitles. Everyone else definitely should view any of his previous splendid films.… Expand
