Wonderful characters get drowned in an attempt at melodrama, 29 August 2009
Author: sitenoise from http://sitenoise-atthemovies.blogspot.com/

Jinglei Xu is a talented actor, writer, and director, all of which she performs here. This is her directorial debut, produced while still in her twenties. It shows lots of promise. The characters are engaging, the direction mostly assured (up to a point), and while the story arc is worthwhile overall, the script used in bringing it to fruition comes up a little short in the third act. The first two acts setting up the characters and relationships are wonderful but when it came time for the drama to enter and make something of the relationships, things start to meander and too much is stirred in too quickly to create a satisfying conclusion. A little restraint, leaving the film as a slice of life rather than a big meaningful drama would have been better.
