James Marsh South China Morning Post The combination of stilted English-language dialogue and performances, thinly drawn character archetypes, in combination with a string of ill-conceived culture-clash vignettes, steadily derail the proceedings. Rated: 2/5 Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Lee Marshall Screen International The film’s strongest card is the nascent but still undeclared feminist perspective of a young woman who wants to make her own mistakes – not the ones that society, her parents, her employers and her peers impose upon her.
