...pretty strong argument for steering clear of the local movie house. Goodbye, Dragon Inn is unbearably inert. It's not so much that Tsai has neglected to craft a good story and characters; that's always been his style. What Goodbye lacks is exactly what Tsai's far superior 2001 film What Time Is It There? had in every frame: authentic feeling.

He announced at one point with grandiosity that naturally amused the audience, that he had graduated from Harvard University and was therefore superior to all who surrounded him. During the final scenes his denseness seemed to turn into nervous clamminess so that even he was not untouched by the madness he had helped to create...
