The Way We Were

2011 · 92 min Romance

The Way We Were is something that Hong Kong cinema needs – creative, different, character driven, funny and ultimately heart warming. It is exactly what you call a light hearted movie that never takes itself too seriously. Liu Kai Chi impresses as the guy who never gives up on his dream and at the same time dealing with the fact that he is a failed father. Fiona Sit suits up well in a role that requires more than on paper. At the end of the day, this is an interesting and easily missed little film that works. The Way We Were may not make a single cent at the box office, but it is certainly the most underrated Hong Kong film of the year…

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its charm by balancing absurd humor with the quiet melancholy of personal failure. It relies on heartfelt performances that find depth in their characters' flaws and vulnerabilities.

What lingers after the credits is a gentle, uplifting warmth—a reminder that redemption often wears a humble, comedic face. It’s a small film with a big, genuine heart. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Lau Kin-Ping
