4.0 out of 5 stars
Quiet, Lovely, December 6, 2010
This review is from: Autumn Moon (DVD)
I saw this movie at the Sundance Film Festival, and still consider it one of the better finds from that year. As another reviewer has written, nothing much happens in this movie. But if you like a certain kind of foreign film, of the sort like those made by Ozu or Kiarostami, then you'll probably like this movie. It's about the brief intersection of two characters, one worldly and world-weary, lost and casting about for his purpose, and one a young girl just figuring out who she is, having her first crushes on boys, on the verge of emigrating from Hong Kong to Canada. Nothing even remotely romantic ever happens between them, but they manage to become very unlikely friends who bring warmth and kindness to one another during difficult periods in both their lives. It's by no means a typical feel-good film--it's not sentimental in the least. It's a very quiet movie, with a deft touch, but in the end I found it very moving.
