A beautiful idea, a beautiful start, and a catastrophic collapse into incomprehensible motivations
This film was beautifully conceived, and started well. The characters are deft, subtle, and well-played by the excellent cast.Leading into the last act, though, the characters start behaving erratically, with no discernible motivation. Sadly, the movie overall fails to recover, and it ends up being a frustrating experience. A great deal of potential, squandered in an apparent attempt to generate conflict, which in the end feels unbelievable.
Worth a watch, if you like any of the actors in particular, as their performances are still quite good, even from newcomer Zhu Lin as the delightfully naive-yet-savvy Mei Mei (“Little Sister”).
Depressing
Australia certainly has a knack for producing depressing films, and this is one of their finest efforts. If I want to be depressed I’ll turn on the news. I don’t see any reason to bring more sadness into the world.Initially the story looks promising and indeed could have become moving and uplifting. However, much like the unfortunate characters portrayed, it plunges into an inescapable spiral of gloom and misfortune.
Pearce is certainly on top form here, but his character is so pathetic and easily manipulated that it is difficult not to despise those around him – basically everyone else in the movie.
Technically good films don’t work unless there is an inspirational or entertaining story to tell. This one perhaps was intended to be uplifting but misses the mark by a mile. Poor effort indeed.
