Ba jiao long zhong (2023)
Solid directing debut of Wang Baoqiang
18 July 2023 - 5 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
Ba jiao long thing (or Never Say Never in English) constitutes a solid directing debut for Wang Baoqiang, who has in recent movies shown that he is more than a comedic relieve. The acting of him and all the other - including child - actors was great, always convincing and moving.
The story itself was a moving tale that felt real and the plot unfolded naturally and never forced. The Sichuanese dialect gave it a grounded feeling.
As said above, the general direction was solid with some nice shots and camera movements and good editing, but nothing outstanding.
Definitely, a watch recommendation!
