Kleenex in hand, take the dive.
What a love, what a friendship, what a story. 🥹🥹Aptly titled, Taste and Tears will burrow into your heart and wound your soul, just to mend it stronger than it was before you began. This story is beautifully wound, the acting is great, and the overall ending is very satisfying. I am very glad I experienced this story, I found it so poetic.

Okay, but not great
I can’t help the fact that I’ve seen Better Days, a Chinese movie about a similar topic, and that movie is wayyyyy better than this one. But this one is completely competent. The acting is fine, the cinematography is fine, and the story is fine. Just not particularly amazing. My standards are too high now hahaWas this review helpful to you?
Beautiful but heavily slow-paced and sad
Story:The premise of "Taste and Tears" is very poetic and emotional, dealing with loneliness, promises, and long-lost connections. However, the plot moves way too slowly. While the emotional weight is definitely there, it often felt draggy and a bit boring. It is a very sad and heavy movie, so you have to be in the right mood to watch it.Acting/Cast:The actors did a great job portraying the deep loneliness and longing of their characters. The emotions felt raw and genuine.Music/Rewatch Value:The soundtrack fits the melancholic vibe perfectly. However, because it's so slow and depressing, I don’t think I would watch it a second time.Conclusion:If you appreciate beautiful cinematography and bittersweet, slow-paced stories, you will enjoy this. It's a nice, pretty movie, but it requires a lot of patience.Was this review helpful to you?
