'Your Name Engraved Herein' walks a fine line between sensitive narration and a strong overdramatization of events. Beautifully filmed with strong, passionate performances from the leads - Edward Chen's performance as the emotionally tortured protagonist is exceptional - but often being dragged out by its incoherent script, confused directing, and endless screaming match.

Beautifully filmed but being dragged out by endless screaming match
Heartbreaking yet mesmerizing
I felt a void in my soul when the movie ended. Excellent character development and cast, very bittersweet story. I wish it had a happy end but it crushed my heart ?
Exquisite Film.
I loved both lead actors and their characters. But I agree with others here who didn't care for the ending. It was flat and awkward, a mistake in such an otherwise poignant film. Instead, I wish the filmmakers had closed it at the wonderful beach scene.....primal and joyous, to be remembered all their lives. But I still loved the rest. The scene when they were holding each other in the shower after the almost ritual moment of gentle healing and passion had me weeping as I saw them clinging to one another so quietly, desperately. Yes, that is love, and it can be both beautiful and heartbreaking through no fault of ours. Exquisite.
