Wong Fu Productions sure can tell a story. The last song especially always makes me cry. (https://youtu.be/IOu0DuxFAT0?si=jYkeOqSehYHshd8n)
This beautifully structured, short haiku of a film reminds me a bit of “Sleepless in Seattle” with the waltzing around the main point, brief moments of affection and tender glances. So artfully done, not overly sentimental or self-aggrandizing, but perfectly sweet. Poetic and beautiful, nostalgic and gentle
Anyone fondly remembering their first crush will see themselves in our main characters, and I beautifully fill in the details of early dates that Ted and Wesley have left out, quite a rhetorical technique in itself
It’s all about the feeling the story leaves us with.
5.9 / 6 stars
