Featured reviews
It is one of films for feel more than judge. A sort of exploration of personal experiences, honest, precise, well acted, maybe too long but graceful and correct. A film about friendship, love, apparences, reaction of the other and pure living. And, sure, about time passing. I appreciate it as a beautiful exercise to remind not only gay relations nuance but the simplicity of emotions, the traits of a specific age and the forms of acceptance more of yourself than the other. Short, a bitter beautiful film. For a part of public, for many motives, just useful. I do not exclude myself from this part.
32 years ago and now, there have been big changes for the LGBT community in Taiwan.
The movie still successfully builds a romantic school memory - a strong point of Taiwanese films, combined with history and love. In which, a nostalgic love, a troubled love gives you an indestructible tension. A love movie worth watching.
This Movie is one of the most beautiful stories i have ever seen. You all should watch it without Thinkin' about Bad Or Negative Reviews for this amazing Film.
Trust me it's worth for your time.
A drama from Taiwan.
LGBTQ
It is about some friends in a boarding school where one falls in love with the other causing the friendship to gradually change, while they face situations typical of the time.
Quality.
Entertaining
Talk about the harsh exodus of homosexuality at puberty and loving someone and never having the courage to tell them.
About the decisions we make in life not to be judged or labeled by others.
About wanting to be the same as others and really being yourself.
He handles the religious point of view in an interesting way.
Mainly talks about how sometimes we want to force someone to love us or forcing things to happen.
The time well recreated.
Some performances are not enough and for some moments they lack expression to get to touch certain emotions, but in general what they want to convey is achieved.
Told in times and reaching the present.
Although some scenes can feel long, the truth is that they make a lot of sense to the reactions that human beings can have about love.
If you ever fell in love with your best friend, you are going to love this movie.
With light and well-managed sex scenes, as well as nudes.
The narrative is flawless, the various scenes between the priest and the boy are amazing.
This movie made me cry several times and became probably the best movie of the year for me.

- TriviaThe official title of the movie and the title song is the same in English - Your Name Engraved Herein. However the Chinese title of the movie is literally translated as "The Name Engraved In Your Heart" and the title song is literally translated as "The Name Engraved In My Heart".
- GoofsThe ending of the movie takes place in Québéc City, which is a twelve-hour drive from Niagra Falls. Additionally, it's a French-speaking location. Signage and dialogue would be either French or bilingual, yet for some reason are all in English. This is uncharacteristic of Quebec.
