Watched this film based on the discussion it stirred upon its release.
Ten Years is a collection of shorts that paint a bleak picture for the future of Hong Kong. One cannot feel but helpless while watching these shorts.
Yet, this movie is more for those living in Hong Kong than outside. People who have never been to Hong Kong will not be able to relate or understand without more context. Maybe that's why it didn't catch on for non-Hong Kong enthusiasts.
3.5/5. I enjoy the film. I understand the underlying stories. But the message could have been done in a better way.
