Maizi de gaitou (2018)
Too Dark and Dreary Themed For Me ...
Please don't watch this if you're depressed because it will drag you down emotionally. I could only watch the first 40 minutes (and that was by speeding through monotonous scenes, hoping beyond hope for more meaningful turns of events) before I quit watching. While many/most Chinese films have dark themes, this one is darker than most.
I'm still giving 4 stars because I don't know if the film ends with any encouraging/hopeful light - and maybe if you like dark themes, and aren't guarding your mental health, you might want to bear it out to the end to see. ( I unfortunately couldn't find ANY other critic reviews for this movie online, so I hope this helps someone.)
The Faith Club (2017)
An All-Around Super Family Film
A good story with unexpected twists in plot that kept my family engaged from start to finish.
Every aspect of this film was above par.
Excellent acting from EVERY character, delivering well written lines that were 100% authentic to the settings, plot and individual characters.
Scenery, settings, wardrobe, camerawork and editing all GOOD!
AND the authentic soundtrack of lyrically meaningful, well performed songs adds depth to each story segment.
