      TV Guide Magazine

      Despite its flaws, the film has the same dreamy, romantic melancholy that distinguishes Wong's best films.

      Entertainment Weekly

      Norah Jones, making her big-screen debut as a wistful wanderer, is a beautiful blank, and the fragments barely add up to a movie.

      Premiere

      All this is frustrating, as the picture contains a few grace notes that remind one what an acute filmmaker Wong can be.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      The director is chasing a mood here -- a mood, an atmosphere and feelings -- much as he did in "In the Mood for Love."

      Salon

      My Blueberry Nights may not quite be what fans of either Jones or Wong Kar-wai -- directing his first film in English -- are expecting. It's a late-night, lovelorn mood piece in a minor key, not complicated or convoluted, finally more confection than substance.

      Variety

      As much a trifle as its title suggests, My Blueberry Nights sees Hong Kong stylist Wong Kar Wai applying his characteristic visual and thematic doodles to a wispy story of lovelorn Yanks.

      Village Voice

      The disappointment here doesn't have much to do with Wong doing America--he's been doing America for years, even in Chinese--but with Wong doing Wong, and not up to his own standard.

      Often ponderous, sometimes pretentious and mostly clichéd, this contrived meditation on longing and loss feels like a missed opportunity.
