Having lived in Hong Kong myself as an expat for the past four years I have been curious to see this. The story is a bit of a mess and only partly captures the feeling of being an expat here. Nicole is a miserable housewife who wants to go back to the states. Her friend is even more miserable with a cheating husband. The Korean girl he is having an affair with, seems lost and miserable. Losing a child in the street I would imagine is very rare here. Hong Kong is a VERY expensive city to live in and life here for most people is centered around work and making ends meet. Nothing is mentioned either about the changing political situation in Hong kong. The cinematography is gorgeous sometimes, but sometimes not. But often very dark. Overall, not terrible, but a bit of a disappointment.
