	Author	Review
United States	Elizabeth Kerr The Hollywood Reporter	"A rare, mature gay romance with plenty on its mind (...) Delicately rendered and quietly affecting"	POS
United States	Alissa Simon Variety	"Strong performances by veterans Tai Bo and Ben Yuen make the protagonists’ struggle concrete and affecting."	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"This is gentle, understated storytelling with subtly observant camerawork to match"	POS

United States	James Scott Austin Chronicle	"[It] delves much deeper than just a simple love story between two older leads. This film, bruising yet respectful in its honesty, portrays the still existing divide between the personal and public experience of being gay"	POS
United States	Pramit Chatterjee Mashable	"Ray Yeung’s writing is detailed and accurately captures the dilemma of a gay man in China (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
