About overcoming communication difficulties not by choice but by neccessity. About taking the risk of leaving yourself open, a brave and difficult decision even if there are no other options available. Beautifully photographed and reasonably observant but let down by Maggie Cheung's middling performance. Still you can read Nick Nolte's emotions like a book, and all the better for that as that is precisely the kind of character he is playing.

This is all about the performance from Maggie Cheung as a middle aged junkie, which is good, but not great.

Although some of its time-skipping and ambiguities in characterization are noticeable, this is an enthralling and immersive film that I could have kept watching for another hour.

Not as good as Irma Vep, another Assayas/Cheung collaboration. Oh, it's not bad... it's nicely understated for what is essentially a drug movie, shot well in cool blue tones, the characters and dialogue are believable, and the music is good. I cared what happened, even though I could pretty much tell what was going to happen. It's rather simple and doesn't leave much of an impression. I also got occasionally annoyed by the hip references.

While there's comparatively little to recommend here, I'd like to briefly talk about one scene that hit me right in the gut. The protagonist purchases some stuffed animals for her once-abandoned child, lovingly places them on a bed and then stops to right a fallen animal. Big fucking deal, right? Yet, inexplicably, this obviously unscripted minor detail caused me to weep like a baby. Beats me.
