Audience Member After a five year hiatus Lawrence Lau returned as a director with the uncompromising Spacked Out, probably the realest movie ever made in Hong Kong. With no professional actors and no discernible plot, Spacked Out is similar both in tone and substance to Larry Clark's early movies, but without the latter's exploitative angle. Lau is very careful not to be judgemental and preachy in mapping out these boxcutter-wielding teenage girls' life, thus creating an utterly grim but totally believable movie. Lai Yiu Fai's photography also adds some beauty to the housing projects in the New Territories, simply by showing them as they really are. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member every "Tuen Muner" must not miss it Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
