Gavin Spoors FILMHOUNDS Magazine Aug 4
3/5
As far as feature debuts go, it's an impressive one. KEFF has a considered, careful approach to directing with a lingering camera navigating the dark alleyways of Taipei, and he pulls terrific performances from his cast. Go to Full Review Alistair Ryder View of the Arts 05/22/2024
2/5

3/5

3/5
The plotting takes precedence over characterisation, which saps the film of tension, while its melodramatic developments feel out of keeping with the cooler noir vibe. Go to Full Review John Berra Screen International 05/19/2024

2.5/5
While altogether watchable, KEFF’s narrative doesn’t pack any real punches, nor does it yield any surprises in this eternal tale of the haves and have nots navigating a system rife with distraction and corruption. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
