Viewing Notes

Such an odd yet refreshing premise. Not the easiest of films to engage with but riveting nevertheless. I think I like the concept more than the actual film but it’s still well crafted and looks great. The execution is iffy but the mystery keeps up the interest. Some good acting too by all the principles esp. Ching Wan Lau who you come realize is quite mad. Kelly Lin is great too.
