Though the movie could coast on the appeal of handsome faces and stolen trips to Taipei, Liu gives texture to their pretty pining.

Your Name Engraved Herein has two performances, one electric and the other a slow burn, that complement each other in an emotionally charged film.

3/5

Like the recent Thai Present Perfect films, it feels like love on a micro-scale and not part of something bigger. But unlike its Thai counterpart, it takes itself much more seriously indeed.

Despite these deficiencies, the film is eminently watchable, especially the second half, aided by the attractiveness of the two main protagonists, who construct a believable erotic chemistry.

Liu's film is heartfelt. He deftly captures the bromance that develops between the two teens.

En 1987, après la fin de la loi martiale à Taïwan, deux amis du secondaire tombent amoureux malgré les pressions familiales et le climat d'homophobie. Très bon film taïwanais inspiré de faits vécus. Bon jeu, scénario bien ficelé, histoire prenante.
