Shooting largely with a handheld camera, Qu generates a jittery energy that makes the characters' stress palpable. This feeling escalates as the investigation closes in.
Qu fleshes out her characters to expose the societal and familial pressures that tend to limit options for females.
In its perceptions and mood, "Angels Wear White" plays like acutely serious female noir.
A tough and unsparing drama that vividly brings to light the kind of narrative too many people have endured over the years.
This all sounds grim, and it is. But the story grabs you. Ms. Qu shoots the sturdily constructed scenario with unshowy sharpness.
Qu unpacks much that matters in Angels Wear White, including the abuse of power and importance of status and wealth in Chinese society, but her most thoughtful, nuanced observations involve female sexuality.
