Never before has a film so eloquently captured the feeling of driving to McDonalds at 3am.

love is fleeting. it can be experienced in the smallest of moments; the length of a song, one night together, a videotape. we're all just passengers floating through each other's lives. some of us make a bigger impact than others, but in that moment the emotion is raw and…

i think it’s neat that wong kar-wai’s love language is apartment cleaning.

comfort film. in all honesty, one of the best films I’ve ever seen, there is so much art to interpret here it doesn’t make sense to watch it only once. 10/10
Yuto San likedFallen AngelsSometimes you don't have to understand everything, like the story in this film. The last 10 minutes lets you think about the world around you and your position in it. This film is vibes on multiple levels, cinematic work of art. A new comfort movie Now this is what you call art!
vlada kaprese likedFallen Angelsvisually great and the fact that it was almost completely hand camera is incredible however that’s the reason why it was hard to watch for me… i think it’s the best typa movie to rewatch cause there isn’t any huge plot and u can just enjoy the atmosphere and cinematography

I’d be lying if I said I fully understood it but it was interesting. The movie feels like a deep dive into troubled strangers memories with their live commentary attached to said memory. If there were a theme It’d be the complexity of human connection, desire and adulthood.
PJ Suttles likedFallen AngelsA rich sequel to Chungking Express, but it wasn’t as compelling. The narrative and cinematography are great but the objectives of each character are what make this not as enjoyable as the former. I still really like this film nonetheless and it feels good to watch. 8.2/10
Zero lovedFallen Angelssuch a unique experience this film brought me. the camera work was chaotic and like nothing i’ve see before. characters were written well too so it helped convey a range of emotions. (7.7/10)

Metacritic
To describe the plot is to miss the point. Fallen Angels takes the materials of the plot -- the characters and what they do -- and assembles them like a photo montage. At the end, you have impressions, not conclusions.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
It's hard to follow, the characters are ill-defined, and the wide-angle shots used by Wong's perennial cinematographer, Christopher Doyle, are deliberately unflattering.
Edward Guthmann
San Francisco Chronicle
Fallen Angels is proof that Wong will try anything, and the result is an eclectic mix of images and disjointed editing, sounds and rhythms that are at times as powerful as any piece of filmmaking likely to be seen all year. It can also, every once in awhile, be tedious and trying.
G. Allen Johnson
