      It Was Really Good

      I was pleasantly surprised by how good the film turned out to be. The kindness and warmth among the characters truly have a healing effect on the heart. Rather than just highlighting the struggles of ordinary people, the film shines a light on their strength during tough times, which instills a sense of hope and courage in the audience. Zhao Liying's performance was remarkable; she truly embodies the role of a resilient woman who faces challenges head-on. Her ability to showcase such tenacity, despite her slender frame, is impressive. Zhao not only shines as a popular star but also stands out as a talented actress and a role model, deserving of admiration for her dedication.

      I was also pleasantly surprised by Lan Xiya's role; she really caught my attention and revealed her impressive talent. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for her future projects. Overall, this film is definitely worth a watch!

      Impressive Performance

      I initially believed that heavy narratives of suffering would consume Xiang Yang Hua. However, it unexpectedly provided a refreshing spiritual uplift during the Qingming Festival. Gao Yuexiang resembles a sunflower that, despite being rooted in harsh realities, refuses to be overwhelmed by strong winds. The character embodies both wild growth that defies stereotypes and the exhilaration from breaking free of narrow perspectives. Dignity is invaluable, and the unwavering hope of "living towards the sun" carries the potential to transmit genuine emotional energy from the screen to real life with a vibrant spirit.

      Zhao Liying's impressive performance gives the character a sense of authenticity and depth. She convincingly portrays a cleaner or a salesperson navigating the gray areas of life. This role stands out due to its complexity and imperfections, allowing viewers to empathize deeply. This is undoubtedly one of her most significant performances on screen.

      It tells a Deeply Moving Story

      The plot is well-structured and flows seamlessly, showcasing Director Feng's ability to tell a deeply moving story. Zhao Liying gives an exceptional performance, proving the ideal choice for the big screen. The dialogue resonates, and her expressions are striking. When her character is released from prison and confronted with unfair treatment, her refusal to accept her fate and her determination to stand up for herself are portrayed with great power. Each subtle nuance in her expressions captures the pain those at the lower rungs of society feel when their dignity is trampled. The courage, stubbornness, and resilience she exhibits in the face of life's trials highlight that women can embody both strength and chivalry. Lan Xiya demonstrates impressive potential, and every female role in this film stands out remarkably.

      Worth to Watch It

      I am pleased to express my appreciation for the film *We Girls*, which provides valuable insight into the experiences of individuals at the lower strata of society through the lens of incarceration. While the characters portrayed are indeed criminals who have deviated from socially acceptable behavior, it is essential to acknowledge the complexities of their situations. They embody women who find themselves ensnared by the pressures of life.

      For instance, the character Gao Yuexiang, portrayed by Zhao Liying, aspires to lead a dignified life while striving to secure a better future for her daughter. She confronts numerous adversities and societal challenges, often portraying herself as a strong woman. Despite their challenging circumstances, she and others in similar situations merit the chance for renewal and the pursuit of a hopeful outlook on life.

      The performances delivered by the cast are commendable, effectively engaging the audience in the narrative of the film.

      a well-structured story

      The screenwriter has crafted a well-structured story that effectively maintains audience engagement without awkward moments. Director Feng Xiaogang presents a film that highlights the individual talents of the actors.

      The experience is unexpectedly wonderful. The mutual redemption among several women powerfully illustrates the struggle and tenacity of marginalized individuals. The performances of the two female protagonists are authentic and moving. The story features rich and varied scenes, and the plot is both clear and well-structured. Rather than relying on strong sensationalism, it is filled with warmth and healing.

      Zhao Liying delivers a strong performance, portraying a complex character-a marginalized individual reintegrating into society after serving her sentence. She convincingly embodies the role of Gao Yuexiang. Lan Xiya is recognized for her promising performance, with several moments showcasing her character's depth, mainly through notable twists. The other actresses also provided strong portrayals throughout the film.
