The Way We Were (2011)
The Way We Were is something that Hong Kong cinema needs – creative, different, character driven, funny and ultimately heart warming. It is exactly what you call a light hearted movie that never takes itself too seriously. Liu Kai Chi impresses as the guy who never gives up on his dream and at the same time dealing with the fact that he is a failed father. Fiona Sit suits up well in a role that requires more than on paper. At the end of the day, this is an interesting and easily missed little film that works. The Way We Were may not make a single cent at the box office, but it is certainly the most underrated Hong Kong film of the year…

It is a performances centric movie
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Blistering performances.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
