Two of the three stars are for the movie, and the third star is for the soundtrack. The soundtrack is great. This is the only highlight of the film, and it is the highlight throughout.

The story itself is too bad. The familiar old-fashioned plot, unintelligible camera switching, and no other lines besides Fucking and Fuck.

Keira Knightley became a real vase party. The love bridge between her and Colin was very unexpected. The director was too lazy to provide any origin of love. He didn't take the slightest effort to confess this feeling. He gave two shots lying under the sheets. I feel that the creation of the love segment has been completed.

After watching the film, I couldn't help but think of "Carmen in Mong Kok". There were a lot of thoughts. It seems that Wong Kar-wai thinks a little more, so his story is better.

But the sentence of closing a door and opening a window does make sense, and such a dull movie is accompanied by such great music. It’s been a long time since I heard such exciting music, so I put it in my music collection and played it in loop. For these music, it is very likely that I will go to London Boulevard again...
