One of the best Hong Kong films of 2002.
An utterly charming retro romancer set against a background of '70s movie going. Full of lovely touches and well-etched performances, and flawed only by a bland male lead.
Fails to overcome its recycled elements but displays a winning spirit that's hard to dislike.
Like Giuseppe Tornatore's "Cinema Paradiso," Just One Look is a tribute to the formative power of cinema, a coming-of-age film that nimbly interweaves the adolescent hero's struggles with clips from the movies that shape his romanticized notions of life.
While not particularly cohesive, this 2002 film has some nice moments of comedy and father-son poignancy.
Filled with nostalgia for old Chinese movies, respectable performances and lively kung-fu slapstick.
Dishwater-dull period melodrama.
