Cast and characters

Critical response

Variety called the film "the most professionally made of [Chou's] three features to date, but with a weakly developed script that doesn’t plumb far beneath the surface."[3]

The Hollywood Reporter said the movie is Chou's strongest film to date, "yet it still lacks a script strong enough to pull it all together."[1]

AfterEllen said the tripartite story line is "one of the movie’s greatest strengths, as each scene hits the emotional high notes and captures quiet moments with equal aplomb."[2]

Home media

The film was released in DVD format in Region 1 on February 3, 2009, by Wolfe Video; and in Region 3 on September 10, 2009, by Hoker Records.[7][8] It was released on Blu-ray in region-free format on July 24, 2009, by Hoker Records.[9]
