Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong

It is impossible not to think about Before Sunrise when watching this movie: two people meet in a beautiful foreign city and spend the night talking to each other. This movie was really frustrating, as I love Hong Kong and I love the two main actors, still, the superficiality of the writing and lack of depth during the whole movie was such a disappointment. The movie even lacks rhythm, as sometimes it takes forever and then it rushes to the end. There wasn't any grow or character deepening, there is no development in their conversation as it is always the same; by the end of the movie, the relationship between them didn't feel any closer than it was at the beginning. That is why it is so difficult to make a movie so much alike another, because I couldn't help but compare all along. Don't get me wrong, I love rom-coms, so this should have been and easy win. Maybe this could work for younger audiences that haven't seen the "Before..." movies.

If you love "Before Sunset," you should watch this movie, because it's basically the same exact film. It's just 20 years later in a different international city with different characters playing out nearly the same night.

Hong Kong itself is the 3rd character in this moving and intimate story, as it gives the rich foundation and backdrop for these two characters to ignite and fall in love with one another. Believable and authentically portrayed.

I don't understand the strong negative reviews, particularly those that seem to be scoring it against a criteria not relevant to this film. I make no comparison or judgment against other films in scoring this, but simply on merit and based on what I experience of this film... which is a great appreciation for the work, feeling, and authenticity that all involved in this film must have given to produce such a personable film.

This film tells the romantic encounters happening over two nights in Hong Kong between an expat American man and an Chinese American woman.

It's so refreshing to see an English language film shot entirely in Hong Kong. The filmmakers obviously passionate about Hong Kong, and has incorporated many always of local life into the film. It's nice to see both expat lives and local lives depicted in the film, though I would like desserts and karaoke in the film too! The plot is very romantic, I can actually understand how the woman gets jealous despite having just met the man. It also briefly and superficially explores the cultural divide and barriers of a cross cultural relationship. I enjoyed watching this film.

I love these indie films. I didn't want the night to end. And that was exactly the feeling this film wanted to evoke! Beautifully done.
