The romance between Liam and Yan was very well done, from their 1st meeting it felt natural, but kismet. I didn't have much interest in the legal story of it, but it was fine, and the movie built towards a very unexpected bittersweet ending. Yikes, that hurt so so bad. Strangely I guess that's just life nowadays...
... View MoreThis has happened to me!The two characters Yan and Liam remind me of the relationship I had in Hong Kong with a mainland Chinese. She came from a wealthy family and had serious issues with my family background, or at least her father did. Despite having been fairly successful in my career, it was never good enough.This happens a lot and it's partly a cultural thing but also a part of the one child policy. So real. So so very real.
... View MoreMy wife made me watch this on Prime. I normally watch action and horror movies. I have to say I got into it. There's's a lot of movies out there that aren't so good. Trust me, this is good. The picture is very sharp and there's a lot of story lines going on. Hong Kong is beautiful. It did make me dislike lawyers even more...Hilarious argument scene with the main character and his boss. The love story is got me...with an unexpected non-Hollywood ending.
... View MoreAlways is a beautifully written love story that will really draw you in. I was hooked from the beginning. Derek Ting really outdid himself with this one. This is the kind of film that you find yourself watching time and time again. You will feel a wide range of emotions from joy, anger, and sadness. I won't spoil it for you, but be sure and grab a tissue or two. It will really make you think about life and relationships. The cinematography is breathtaking. I never realized how beautiful Hong Kong can be, and now I find myself wanting to visit because of this movie.Liam (Derek Ting) and Yen (Danni Wang) are a very realistic couple and you find yourself really rooting for them. The actors are so realistic too, so you feel like you could find yourself and your partner in the characters.I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone. It would make a great date night film.
