Critics Sentiment
Partner and Ho share motorbike ride recognizing mutual loss
Ho Chi-mo breaks into businesses and forces services on customers
The film rises dramatically from Ho's confusing criminal antics to the deeply moving father video sequence, gaining nearly 3 points.
Fallen Angels maintains strong audience appreciation throughout, with particular praise for Wong Kar-wai's visual style and emotional depth. The film builds to transcendent final acts, especially Ho's father sequence and the concluding motorbike ride. While some middle sections were found occasionally tedious or confusing, the overall reception celebrates it as a masterpiece of lonely urban poetry.
