Good story
| The story is ok. Lots of drama in it. I really like the boy's acting as well. Until the end, he blends well with Aaron. I think they both did a job well done. No wonder this movie received lots of award. |

| This film really could have been better. I thoroughly enjoyed the little boy's acting, which seemed to be the film's only strength! |

superb acting
superb acting
| The director cut's edition includes a digipack case with color picture booklet. This is an excellent edition if you like the movie. As for the movie, I thought Aaron Kwok did a superb job. He deserves the best actor award. I felt the movie was realistic because of his performance. The movie might be on the slow pace side, but it was interesting to watch his acting. |

Dreadful melodrama
Dreadful melodrama
| This is based on the director's cut - this is really awful. No wonder 30 minutes was cut from the cinema release. Poor script, one-dimentional acting (except from the little kid) made this a turgid melodrama pretending to be an art film. Quite the worst film to emerge from HK for a long time. I shall be selling/giving away my copy immediately. |

Gripping tale of lost souls

Patrick Tam's film, "After This Our Exile", is an indelible portrait of an irresponsible, self-destructive loser and the ruined lives he leaves in his wake. To summarize the movie in this manner may make it sound unwatchable, but the story is deeply engrossing. Throughout the film, the viewer hopes against hope that Aaron Kwok's character finally will pull his life together. Kwok delivers an astonishingly brave and riveting performance as the brutal and controlling loser. Indeed, the entire cast, including Charlie Yeung, Ian Iskander Gouw, Kelly Lin, and Valen Hsu, deliver fine, well-modulated performances. Patrick Tam's direction skillfully breathes life into what might otherwise have seemed a tendentious tale. The film is never preachy, but always very true to life. Indeed, by placing the focus on Aaron Kwok's character, the movie perhaps underemphasizes the horror of the choices made by Charlie Yeung's character. (Yeung's character walks away from her young son, leaving him in the hands of someone she knows to be an irresponsible and violent father, yet we commiserate with her for the ill-treatment she suffered at Kwok's hands.) The film is beautifully shot and richly atmospheric. The choice of shooting the film in Malaysia perfectly underlines the alienation of its characters. This film is very, very highly recommended for a mature audience. |

| the story was interesting at the beginning - good acting and good cast...but as it progressed, the story got lost and became pointless. |

Touching...but flawed.

The acting was top-notch: especially Aaron who takes on the role as a loser father. In some ways similar to the recent movie 'Pursuit of Happiness' starring Will Smith. Bottom-line is: touching, but overly simple. |

| Does anyone know if this is the director cut's version, which is about 160-minute long. Thanks. If not, I'll wait for the director cut edition. As much as I'm happy for Aaron Kwok who received Chinese Golden Horse 'Oscars" Best Leading Actor consecutively 2 times, I personally think his role in After This Our Exile is better deserving for this award. While his role in Divergence is convincing, I believe he excelled the performance in ATOE. |
