  such a great film about how capitalism is so farcical that one will do anything, no matter how absurd, just to get the upper hand. it has its moments of suspense, but a deeply comedic film nevertheless.

  Love Lies 2024

  Watched 27 Sep 2024

  im sure 吳君如’s back hurt from carrying this whole movie. the framing device of a police interview lends itself to too much exposition and narration - which i find to be a common problem with a lot of the newer hk films. the fact that the central relationship hinges on texting (i.e. forcing people to write how they feel) certainly doesnt help.  

  anyways, this has some of the most obvious product placement you will ever see - including an extended shot of a klook car, which cuts to 吳君如browsing klook for restaurants…cmon yall pack it up

  The Sparring Partner 2022

  Watched 18 Nov 2022

  feel the director deserves a bit of leniency because this is his debut feature but man, what a bloated, overly ambitious, unfocused and meandering mess. tries to say so much but ends up saying nothing

  liked most of the performances tho
