Watched it yesterday. The first story had great food porn, but it was otherwise pretty forgettable, the second was better than the first one (a sweet tale of sisterhood and how frightening can be the perception of getting older) and the third one (which was the best by far) felt ghost-written by Makoto Shinkai (at times it felt like something I could've seen in 5 Centimeters per Second), had a very sweet story of lost love and regret, all in the backdrop of a decaying Shanghai neighborhood.

As expected of an anthology film, it's a bit uneven, but it gets better and better with each story.
