	Author	Review
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"The movie's overall story is modest, and if it were any longer the film might start to drag. But at 90 minutes, it's short enough to be carried along on the drama of its individual scenes and the strength of its performances."	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"After 90 minutes of My Blueberry Nights, which pass pleasantly enough, with swirly, mood-saturated colors; lovely faces; and nice music, you may feel a bit logy yourself -- filled up, sugar-addled, but not really satisfied."	NEU
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"[Wong Kar Wai] loses his way badly on his first English-language outing (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Jim Emerson rogerebert.com	"[Some of his Wong's movies] are mesmerizing, some are bittersweet, some are trifles, and this is one of the latter. But they look delicious (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Sukhdev Sandhu Telegraph	"I found it surprisingly potent, like a half-remembered dream, or a youthful affair that refuses to be forgotten. It smoulders in the imagination."	POS
United States	Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"Nothing truly profound gets discovered, nor does this film mark a career breakthrough for Wong despite the shift in language and locale. The director is chasing a mood here"	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"For all its insubstantiality, 'My Blueberry Nights' does provide some catnip allure that will be to some tastes."	NEU
United States	Scott Tobias AV Club	"Wong's visions of a New York café, a Memphis bar, and a Vegas casino (...) have that enveloping quality that make his films so persistently seductive."	POS
