I know many people who like this movie, but I found it rather disappointing. Perhaps I've watched too many Mabel Cheung movies lately, but this one felt so syrupy and overly melodramatic that I had a hard time refraining from using the fast forward button.
Perhaps it was the music, in particular the excruciatingly sweet "Try to remember" song that kept playing. Perhaps it was the poor casting choices (Shu Qi as a 40-year old?), but I just couldn't get into the love story. I actually thought the parallel story of the children was more entertaining than the main storyline. In any case, it's certainly a pretty film to look at, as are most of Mabel Cheung's movies, but I just couldn't get into it at all.
