You can pretty much figure out the plot from the first 10 minutes of the film and there's not much new, but I hate to admit that it got to me anyway. I guess I'm just a big softie.

Cecilia Cheung is just so great in this movie it's not even funny. Richie Yam also gives a good performance, and I was particularly impressed with the way he shows how strange it is for a blind person to suddenly have sight.

The story is nothing too fantastic but the script is pretty strong. I particularly liked the way that much of the supporting cast is given a moment or two to shine, fleshing out what could have cardboard characters. If you don't feel at least a twinge in your heart watching this then you're cold indeed.
