I Miss You When I See You: Directed by Simon Chung. With Brenda Chan, Candy Cheung, Kevin Ip, Jun LI. Jamie re-encounters his old school friend, Kevin, who has been suffering from depression and must make a choice between following his heart or society.

“Surprisingly touching and mainstream. It is about two young persons falling in love in high school. While one is popular (Jamie) and in the u0026quot;inu0026quot; crowd, the other (Kevin) is an u0026quot;outsideru0026quot;. There is subtle yet substantial attraction between two teenagers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe additional barrier tor this pair of young lovers is that they are of the same gender, which is a culturally unacceptable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith that, the story jumped to 10 years later, when the jock (Jamie) tracked the u0026quot;nerdu0026quot; down in a half-way house for depressed persons. This short reunion triggered something in Kevin, enough to motivate him to move back to Hong Kong to find Jamie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie deal with the pressure of staying in the u0026quot;closetu0026quot; and conform to social/cultural identity. Neither of the characters are happy, yet not sure of other alternative. The main story is in the struggle between expression of love and social conformity.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are a few long scenes that are really good and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone who like love story, and those who enjoyed a subtle story with strong emotional undertone. This movie deserve a wider audience.”
