Far Far Away (2021)
Interesting but may not translate well
15 February 2023
This film tells the story of a socially awkward man, who dates women who live far far away from the city centre.

"Far Far Away" seems to have an interesting premise as a romantic comedy. The story is very local Hong Kong, and would strike a chord with many local Hong Kong people. However, it may not translate well for foreign audiences because of the rigid gender norms and outdated gender roles expressed in the story. In addition, the dialogue is often cringe worthy, and the actions and reactions of characters are often immature and even childish. I cannot say I enjoyed "Far Far Away" as a result.
