Reviews:

A commendable courtroom drama by first time director Charlie Young, complemented by some of the talented names in showbiz
It sure pays to know people in high places. That’s the first thing that came to our mind when we saw how this Charlie Young directed movie was marketed. Besides the big names that are Aaron Kwok (Conspirators, Cold War), Gwei Lun Mei (Girlfriend Boyfriend, Flying Swords of Dragon Gate), Chang Chen (The Grandmaster, Red Cliff) and Xia Yu (Double Trouble, The Painted Veil), Tsui Hark and Jacob Cheung’s names are slapped on in the most indiscreet way as producers. One should have noticed by now how the cast members come from Hong Kong, Taiwanand Mainland China– to increase the ease of marketing the movie in all three territories. This being Young’s directorial debut, it won’t hurt to have such big names backing her up.

This courtroom drama has Gwei playing a handicapped girl who accuses Chang’s renowned surgeon of sexual harassment. Enter Kwok’s prosecutor and Xia’s defence attorney for an emotionally charged showdown of what it takes to unveil the truth, and whether it really matters in this day and age where media messes fact, reality and justice up in the most unimaginable ways.

If Tsui and Cheung’s involvement in this movie was to guide Young along the treacherous paths of filmmaking, they have done a fairly good job. The 90 minute production is well worth your time, considering how it left us pondering about how the world has morphed into a state where appearances matter more than true emotions, which were once held more dearly when things were simpler. Young’s script had gotten substantial funding from the Asia Film Financing Forum, and while the plot could have helped with a little more melodrama, the fairly tight pacing of the storyline manages to keep viewers engaged.

The cast delivers noteworthy performances. While Kwok doesn’t turn in any surprises with his portrayal of a emotionally tormented and torn man, he still manages to leave his fans impressed with how he has transformed into a credible actor in recent years. Gwei whispers a lot in this movie, and it proves how we are often conveniently bought by appearances. The award winning actress shows us again how volatile she is, with this character that may just be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Chang’s cool and almost menacing portrayal of a doctor under the media’s spotlight is one of his best performances yet, and one cannot help but feel for the immense pressure his character is experiencing. Again, a Mainland Chinese actor effortlessly steals the show from his co stars. Xia’s screen presence is undeniably strong, and his scenes with Kwok are memorably powerful.

There is little wham bam action in this drama, and most scenes take place in the courtroom where characters pit their wits against each other. One may diss this as yet another courtroom story with little new surprises to offer, but we’d like to think it serves as a stark reminder how truth isn’t of utmost importance these days, as much as we often swear by it, making it a mantra we tell others we live by.

Would rate a 10 if the subtitles were not 2-3 seconds early.
CHRISTMAS ROSE (2013) Hong Kong. What an astonishing film! I sat for the first time ever, riveted to my chair AT HOME after watching a film and seeing the credits. I am still in shock, and my spine is tingling. Don’t miss this film, and just concentrate on the subtitles. The English subtitles are 2 or 3 seconds early, so you have to concentrate on who is talking. It’s annoying and hurts the enjoyment of watching the film, but it does nor ruin the power of the message and the story. A celebrity doctor is accused of sexual assault by a young, disabled piano teacher. She teaches his daughter, and she is also his patient. The prosecutor gets this as his first case after being a defense lawyer for 15 years. Note the relationship between the prosecutor and his father. Magnificent story.! asiancrush on ROKU.
