NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL, July 12–28, 2024

LOVE LIES (Ho Miu-ki 2023)

About a relationship on a dating app that is completely false, yet keeps getting closer and closer. A new, clever inversion of the rom-com. Veteran actress Sandra Ng and K-Pop star Cheung Tin-fu are brilliant in the leads, with a good supporting cast.

Love Lies 我談的那場戀愛 ("The Love I Had"), 116 mins., was screened for this review as part of the 2024 NYAFF (Jul. 12-20).

SCHEDULE:
Monday July 15, 8:45pm (Walter Reade Theater, Film at Lincoln Center)
Intro and Q&A with director Ho Miu-ki
