‘When my love swears that she is made of truth / I do believe her, though I know she lies.’ – says Shakespeare. Widowed for years, reclusive obstetrician Yu meets Joe, who is disguised as a middle-aged French petroleum engineer on a dating app. When her virtual romance is revealed to be an online scam, Yu insists that she is in love despite being swindled out of a huge sum of money. Ho Miu-ki, in her directorial debut, reflects on what ‘true love’ really means by way of a romantic comedy – love, once believed, is real.
Reviews
The first must-see film of the year.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
