As a procedural this is a decent watch. Go to Full Review

4/5
Though the film at times relies heavily on newsroom cliches that detract away from the sobering scenes of abuse, In Broad Daylight is a startling, painful look at a devastating scandal that is all too common outside of the big screen. Go to Full Review

should be lauded for accurately conveying the power, as opposed to the theatrics, of journalism. In Broad Daylight is a towering film that starts off small, but ends on some heavy imagery. Go to Full Review

Eleph K 06/29/2024 台前幕後的演出都非常出色。故事和鏡頭配合得很好而富代入感。每個角色的熱情和勇氣被現實輾壓到支離破碎但又不煽情。姜大衞以送余香凝帽仔提醒保重和妥協最印象深刻。整部電影在展現角色內心掙扎與成長的同時,保持了情感和克制。必看。 See more LABEL 2 04/14/2024 题材意义完全盖过电影本身,不知是幸还是不幸。叙事过程中多次失焦,从肉体虐待到尊严剥夺、最后到性侵,影片的推进过程并未步步深入,而是反复印证着新闻行业"不断追逐热点"的刻板印象。篇末虽展现了社会新闻揭露问题后所带来的破坏性影响,但缺乏对该影响更深入的表现,非常遗憾地止步于情感共鸣。凌记者的数次吸烟大概是本片最亮眼的设计,其带来的人物互动与角色弧光无疑为影片增色许多。 See more Read all reviews
