Film Critics’ Society Awards. The film’s female lead, Chinese actress Cya Liu, was crowned best actress for her role as a young addict.

Critics said the Cantonese noir “Limbo,” based on the novel of the same name by mainland author Lei Mi, was an “extraordinary work.” It was directed by Soi Cheang . Black comedy “Time” by first-time director Ricky Ko snatched the remaining two awards. Eighty-five-year-old screen legend Patrick Tse, who began his career as an on-screen heartthrob nearly four decades ago when some films were still shot in monochrome, was named best actor for his refreshing performance as a retired assassin. The award for Tse, who is the father of actor-singer Nicholas Tse, is also his first acting award in his showbiz career.
