Reviews
- "A striking, impressive debut from an up-and-coming talent."
- "First-time director Wen Shipei demonstrates a ... flair for heightened atmospherics and off-kilter details. "
- "Director Wen Shipei strikes an oddly satisfying balance between broody Neo-noir and simmering romance with his debut Are You Lonesome Tonight?"
- "Combining the enigmatic manner and lush visual stylings of Wong Kar-Wai with a number of classic film noir tropes, this works both as a thriller and as a character study and shows Shipei to be a director with a lot of promise."
- "Great subtle performances from Eddie Peng and Sylvia Chung."
- "Director Wen Shipei makes an impressive debut with this short neo-noir thriller set in Guangzhou in the 1990s.. "
- "Are you Lonesome Tonight? is a brilliant exercise in aesthetics. "
