Moviegoers are saying
This modern Chinese romance channels 'Before Sunrise' vibes through Beijing's urban landscape, following two lost souls over one transformative night filled with shared bikes, KTV booths, and intimate conversations that map bodies like subway systems. While audiences appreciate its authentic portrayal of millennial housing struggles and genuine chemistry between leads Ma Si Chun and Edward Chen, many feel it falls short of its lofty romantic ambitions despite some genuinely mesmerizing moments.

A story that unfolds over the course of a single night. While it clearly aims to emulate Before Sunrise, it fails to capture the beauty and transcendence of romantic love. Yet as a work of Chinese urban cinema, it has broken far more ground than most within the established…
SIYUNGOMay 28, 2026The most intimate moment a couple can share is crying over breakfast as they know the night comes to an end while eating hot buns from the local joint. Charming and at times aiming at hopeful. Sometimes we meet people at the wrong place, wrong time, but they can remind us…
laubreyMay 29, 2026modern before sunrise concept (very loosely) meets wong kar wai inspired aesthetics, while bringing up the very real fact that housing and rent is too damn expensive. realistic without being overly cynical, charming without being too cheesy - cute!

damn what the actual eff is it with chinese movies absolutely destroying me every time regardless of genre.
itsnotbrendaJun 2, 2026一直觉得中文台词的顿挫是很影响在这种恋爱喜剧中的轻盈感的，这部里当然难免会因为一些真爱用情或者角色背景的部分让语境变重，不过在这种过分拆解的城市局部、过分提醒的时间限定中仿佛通风换气一样尽可能保持了足够多的玩笑性和流畅感，偶尔对城市风景的细微捕捉也有不同的触动。有国产电影里难得的一些质感，至少让看完后的夜晚有了想喝酒的心情。

- 五分钟讲电影的部分圆得很好。。也或许是为了这盘醋包了一些无意义的饺子 - 结尾不错，开放式聊天记录也很好 - 最不喜欢的部分是k歌机呃呃能感觉到想制造一个笑点但陈昊森唱得像是在开拍前从来没听过这首歌 既然堆砌了那么多那就干脆唱从前慢好了。。 - 演员实际年龄差其实没这么夸张但看起来张艺凡真可以当宋洋女儿了所以在讲到喜欢来喜欢去的时候我一直很困惑（大象插画非常好
SetThepacEJun 2, 2026-middle part was a bit boring/slow -didn't know it was going to turn deep -kinda cool concept that this was just in one night and living in a fantasy for a limited time
cathyMay 30, 2026原来国产爱情片不是不能看，而是要看剧本和演员。在现实的环境里夹杂非现实的剧情，却也让人看得感动。只是台词还是一如既往地悬浮。 豆瓣: https://movie.douban.com/subject/37317133/
