Audience Member I always feel a bit guilty about not watching enough Chinese films despite the fact that I've seen a bunch of them. Personally, I think I prefer Japanese films just a smidgen a bit. This film is about a spoiled man who murders three people and is sentenced to death and the entire year he has to wait for his execution because, as the title suggests, the Chinese believe that executions should be held in autumn. It gets a tad soapy and preachy in the end, at least for my taste but it's still a compelling little well-acted drama. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
