In the Mood for Love Ratings & Reviews
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
In the Mood is a love story told from the point of impact, at the heart, and no conventional resolution could be more profound.
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
...even the camera has to steal glances.
Film Comment Magazine
Kent Jones
In the Mood for Love belongs to Cheung, whose beauty lights up the movie like the polar star lights up a winter sky. Cheung is one of the few modern actresses who understands her own physical beauty as an expressive instrument.
The New Yorker
David Denby
So skillfully does the director brings us to a state of breathless expectation that when he refuses to deliver the goods he almost seems to have invented a new form of perversion.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
It's intelligently conceived, exquisitely crafted and flawlessly acted.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Further complemented by the gentle lull of Nat King Cole songs, In The Mood For Love casts a dreamy and melancholic spell that remains unbroken long after the closing credits have rolled.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Director Wong Kar-wai, Hong Kong's most romantic filmmaker, is known for his excesses, and in that sense the film's spareness represents a bold departure.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
The film is gorgeous, dripping with texture and sensuality and, well, mood.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
Wong Kar-wai tricks up the schmaltz with a lot of avant-garde filigree. He's that most suspect of hybrids: a pop-schlock aesthete.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
In the Mood for Love is ultimately a work of brilliance that expresses more than it communicates.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
In the Mood for Love excites us with words not spoken, passions not played out. A mood story more than a love story, it's all about sustaining a state of exquisite melancholy in the face of desire.
L.A. Weekly
Manohla Dargis
It is undeniable in its poignancy, an ecstatic vision of what might have been, though as much for its story as for the fact that the whole thing dissolves like a paper fan in rain, an evanescent masterwork.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Their pain borne with grace and their rapture held in check are revealed as vividly through the two stars' radiant stillness as from the nocturnal glow of Wong's poised, tense images.
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
A picture that's about the spaces between people, the emotional connections not made, the cataclysmic effect of one hand withdrawing from another. In other words, not the most plot-driven picture ever made.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Christopher Kelly
This is Wong's seventh film, and his work grows more intoxicating each time around. Little happens in his movies, and yet you can't tear your eyes away from them.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
It's the rare intelligent movie which rejects thinking in favor of looking and feeling.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Harper Barnes
Frankly, I could have used a bit more action this time around, but I'm just a materialistic Yankee. And I have to confess I was never bored and often enthralled.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Steve Murray
An aching, bittersweet tone poem to love, loss and repressed passions, Wong Kar-wai's mesmerizing In the Mood for Love puts the emphasis on "mood." And it takes some time to warm up to.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
Cheung says more with a look than most actresses convey in an hour of dialogue, and the eternal sadness in her eyes will stay with you long after you leave the theater.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
In the Mood for Love is probably the most breathtakingly gorgeous film of the year, dizzy with a nose-against-the-glass romantic spirit that has been missing from the cinema forever.
