A detective on a murder case falls in love with a surgeon he meets during the investigation.

Trapped in a muddy, deterministic plot, hurting, guilt-ridden characters bond tenuously while a seasonal heat wave makes everyone torpid and irritable, and generally no one seems to have much fun, least of all the audience.

The poetic screenplay is reinforced by Dong Yingda's melancholy score with its poignant repeated motif and Jeffrey Chu's romantic lighting.

A disappointingly lacklustre affair whose procedural thrills get increasingly bogged down in a morass of tepid psychodrama, with transcendental trimmings.

[Summer of Changsha is] a maudlin piece of fake deep psychodrama that doesn’t even have the good sense to entertain. Changsha is a film that hardly establishes the goodwill it works so hard to erode over two very long hours.

[Director] Zu Feng falls progressively in rhetoric until the film breaks down. [Full review in Spanish]

2.5/5

Little by little this film degrades, disintegrating, derailing and in its second half directly loses the axis and the compass. [Full Review in Spanish]
