Zhou Sun's Debut Feature!
It's crazy how this is a debut film! It feels like one of those films from experienced directors and casts.
It's a coming-of-age story about a 14-year old girl who is struggling with the death of her mother, bullying, and finding her own voice amidst everything that is going on.
The main lead doesn't talk much in this film, she's a very introverted girl who obviously has a lot going on in her mind. Instead of talking, the emotions are portrayed by the facial expressions and showing what she is thinking in her mind. And because there isn't much dialogue, it makes you pay attention to all the little details going on, which I love! Often times, the movie goes back and forth between the past and present - when the mother was alive and after her death.
It can get a little confusing but after finishing it and thinking about it (it's a movie which makes you think a lot btw!), you'll realize that it actually made sense!
Acting wise, I thought it was amazing (the actress is only 15 years old!!).
Music wise, I actually didn't pay attention to that...there wasn't any attractive music played in the film.
Overall, 8.5/10 - if you are a movie enthusiast, you should give this a try! but for lovers of lighthearted and casual movies, this may be quite boring! :)
