A Melodrama that Doesn't Have Much to Say

With Lou-Ye-ian, shaky handheld camera work, a hybrid emotion of unease and confusion is brilliantly conveyed, with some carefully scouted and beautifully set up scenes to spice things up.

Unfortunately, it is a challenge to figure out what the film is all about underneath its beautiful and stylised shell. It's a melodrama that doesn't have much to say, and it looks like it's trying to highlight some trendy issues, but it doesn't even come close, so it ends up being a slapdash.

The film presents a sort of bourgeois image of delicacy and hypocrisy - but obviously not what the director wanted to shed lights on.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
