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.
Love it so much! The production, settings, 80s vibes, actors, storyline, everything just PERFECT also the OST. The plot is unpredictable and not 'ordinary' or 'classic' BL 😭💖
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.
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 just crushes my soul, even more so the second time I watched it. I relate to it so hard. I think there would be many others who also relate to it the same way. I wonder what my Birdy was thinking when he watched this movie. And did he recognise his role, that he was the Birdy in our relationship? Even worse, I wonder if it causes him regret.
It is an amazing movie, and speaks to the experience so many people had, and still have. Thank you for making it.

- 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.
