---|---|---|---|
United States | Variety | "A fizzy chamber yarn about two gay Hong Kongers in Argentina" | POS |
United States | Austin Chronicle | "Thanks largely to the raw bravery and intensity of the two leads' performances, Happy Together takes a quantum leap forward in terms of visceral power" | POS |
Canada | The Globe and Mail | "Wong returns once more to what he seems to know best - the visual poetry of the urban Asian night, a world of characters on the move, coming and going, never really getting anywhere." | POS |
United States | Chicago Reader | "Structurally and dramatically this is all over the place, but stylistically it's gripping" | POS |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "An arresting work about an exotic subculture." | POS |
United States | Boston Globe | "An abundance of style and an almost total lack of substance make Wong Kar-wai's Happy Together a visually arresting but ultimately unrewarding excursion." | NEG |
