Hollywood Reporter

Murky tale of infidelity, revenge and guilt makes heavy weather of torrid emotional material.

Although the central story leans towards the melodramatic, Lou's confident blend of realism and poetry keeps it on track.

Film School Rejects

A very modern murder mystery,replacing the traditional detective figure with other involved characters to add a claustrophobic feel and emotional weight to its revelations.

Rated: B

Didn't really know what to expect with this one. At first it seemed like the story was about a girl who is hit by a car and killed by an irresponsible driver, then it switches to being a friendship film about two mums with young children, then it turns really dark and disturbing as you very slowly realise the connection between the women and the young girl who died. Really well done and not easy to watch in places.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I have to stop watching these Chinese films. They are always so dark and inherently pessimistic that a little piece of my soul dies every time I view one... Good though.
