A touching movie about teenage love and innocence! Different from typical films of this type, but in a good way. Guey or Kwai Lun-Mei and Wilson Chen are both great in this film. The pacing is a teeny bit slow, but overall I still enjoyed the film.

Gentle and reflective, Blue Gate Crossing ultimately doesn't make a terribly strong impact, but it does impress with its well-composed visual style and sensitive handling of bittersweet emotion.
A lovely little coming-of-age story. Full Review
Enchanting.
Little more than a vignette elongated into a feature-length movie. Moody and slow moving, it depends on the truthfulness of its performances to carry it. Full Review

Yee shows inventive skill at telling the story visually. Full Review
