Taipei Exchanges (Chinese: 第36個故事; pinyin: Di 36 ge gu shi) is a 2010 Taiwanese comedy film directed by Hsiao Ya-chuan and starring Gwei Lun-mei and Zaizai Lin.

[1] Director Hsiao Ya-chuan said that he got inspiration for Doris's character when he visited a coffee shop in Shanghai, where he witnessed a French girl with short hair devoting "her full attention to making desserts at the counter".

However, it added that towards "80%" of the film, "Hsiao stretches his already thin material a bit too much and loses the momentum he would have needed to make a serious statement."

It also criticized the characters of the film, saying that they "seem to live exclusively in delightful vignettes that are inspired by the real world but not truly rooted in it.".

[4] Time Out gave the film a score of 2 out of 5, describing it as "A sickly sweet capitalist allegory that severely lacks substance".
