Movie Reviews of Millennium Mambo

Movie Review: Overrated
Summary: 2 Stars

I have to say when I bought this film I was very excited for Shu Qi's performance because I absolutly fell in love with her movie THREE TIMES. I figured same director same actor it would be a knock out. But I was waiting for something to happen to make all of the hype true but it never came. Which is sad. Anyway, the attempt at filming in a club went horribly wrong, the scenes were difficult to decipher the images because it was all unfocused in one color.. I was hoping they would go more indepth with the relationships that Shu Qi had but it barely touched on them. It was just odd scenes strung together (which is okay) but if they don't have a basis to them, there's no point. Plus her second relationship just comes out of nowhere. This small idea of a man who takes care of her; but there is hardly any scenes with him to make it believable. Honestly, the best part of the film is the ending (not because its the end)but, because it basically left Shu Qi to her own vices and when that happens she can pull a viewer in and never let them go.

Personally, there wasn't enough in this film to make it a smash hit. If you are going to buy this film I highly recommend you do your research and make sure the actual plot is enough to tempt you. I bought it because of Shu Qi, if that's your reasoning for buying this film I'd opt for something else.

Summary of Millennium Mambo

A neon-saturated story about female entrapment in an urban setting populated by hedonistic, angst-ridden characters. Vicky, engrossed by the narcissistic lifestyle of nightclubs and Ecstasy pills is torn between two men: her neurotic and jealous live-in boyfriend she resolves to break-up with as soon as she can drain $500K from their bank account and an enterprising gangster whose presence becomes both a source of trouble and a beacon of salvation
