Edward Yang
The film has been well-received critically. Dennis Lim, in a review for the "Village Voice," observed the film's "meticulous framing and haunting use of repeated motifs" reflects the influence of Taiwanese New Wave directors Hou Hsiao-hsien and Edward Yang. The "Portland Mercury" described the film as "a modern-day Chinese lesbo twist on the old "Cyrano" story" that "treads new territory in the teen coming of age drama realm," praising Yee's "haiku-like directorial lyricism."
