Challenging but fulfilling
Emmett from Dublin, 23 Feb 2010
A slow and methodical start to this movie leaves you often lost as the pieces of a truly beautiful portrayal begin to unfold. A slow pacing expertly draws together as the multiple aspects of love and solitude combine rewarding you a sense wonder and catharsis.
I would readily recommend this to anyone wanting to watch a thoughtful foreign (subtitled) movie. Not for light casual watching.
Evocative

Follow-up, of sorts, to the director's previous movie 'In The Mood For Love', 2046 again shows the skills of this fine film-maker. Visually splendid, the story can be convoluted but that's rather to be expected. Requires attention of the viewer to really appreciate it.
Like Haruki Murakami novel...

If yuo have ever read Haruki Murakami, you probably would understand... From the beginning I thought that it based on one of the novels.... ;-) It's a good quality movie, but it will be too difficult to understand for certain audience :-)))
Bore-fest

Maybe I was missing something, maybe I tried to watch this too late at night.... Whatever, I must have missed something because I gave up before halfway. I had no real care for the main charcter, and less for the story that was being told
Brilliant

A slow and at times confusing start to this film which combusts into life when Zhang Ziyi takes the screen. Multiple story arcs playing on the theme of love challenge and reward the viewer.
