Fallen Angels

CriticsCritics: 84
AudienceAudience: 7.7

An indifferent hitman, his devoted partner, and a mute ex-convict move through Hong Kong’s nocturnal streets while seeking connection, love, and purpose. Their separate lives occasionally intersect, creating a fractured portrait of lonely people trying to communicate and find meaning in a restless city.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like stylish, melancholic stories about lonely people, unconventional humor, and Hong Kong nightlife; Not for you if you need a tightly plotted narrative or deeply relatable characters.
