  Love is life, life as it is.
  Not every love story is a fairy tale.
  After a dramatic wedding feast, unusual love stories unfold towards
  unexpected endings:
  a brother and sister in love caught by the mother,
  a married painter falls for his young life drawing model of same sex,
  an intimacy between a dance school teacher and his wealthy but senior
  student,
  a lesbian couple of which one has role-play paranoid,
  a dreadful love triangle ending with the girl being beheaded…
  "Love Actually…Sucks!" celebrates love that no one care but real,
  for life is love, love as it is.

[ PHILADELPHIA QFEST ]
  Taking inspiration from six different court cases involving crimes of
  the heart, Scud examines the intense, often self-destructive sexual
  longings among several well-to-do young Hong Kong residents – gay,
  lesbian and straight. The film opens with the most scandalous wedding
  reception ever put on film: a young couple’s marriage ends (in the most
  dramatic fashion) before it begins. There is the 30-ish married gym
  instructor who trolls the active bathroom scene for young flesh; a
  lesbian couple with roleplay issues; a dance instructor who becomes the
  object of attraction to his much older student; a married painter who
  falls for his male model; a brother and sister who take family
  togetherness a bit too literally; and a young man who becomes
  increasingly deranged until he takes his love interest problems into his
  own hands. In Scud’s world, every love story is a fairy tale – but here
  the stories are sexual and troubling. Overall, a complex, sensual and
  compelling film. (Cantonese with English subtitles) -- Raymond Murray
