• Ice Storm, The (1997)

  [5/10]

  "Director Ang Lee skillfully creates the bleak mood of The Ice Storm through carefully crafted scenes and an excellent cast that easily portray the film's hollow characters."

• Wo Hu Cang Long [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon] (2000)

  [9/10]

  "I have tried to watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with a critical eye, but the engaging story and the absolutely gorgeous cinematography always distract me from my critical view and by the end, I just sigh like you would after taking a bite of the most succulent cheesecake."
