	Author	Review
United States	Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	"The one masterpiece here [NOTE: in Eros (2004)] is Wong Kar-wai's moving “The Hand,” a visually exquisite and highly erotic period piece about a prostitute (Gong Li) and her tailor (Chang Chen). "	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The characters expand in my memory and imagination. I feel empathy for both of them"	POS
United Kingdom	Joshua Rothkopf Time Out	"The theme is desire – a comfortable mode for Wong Kar-Wai, whose ‘The Hand’ offers a miniature version of his swooningly gorgeous, chronologically choppy impressionism."	POS
