A valuable, intelligent debut.
Timely and important, if somewhat familiar.
Tina and Sasa's friendship in particular is one of the strongest parts of the film, as the two women learn to understand the origins of each other's prickliness.
It's a pity, then, that so many of the plot's turning points are engineered through heavy-handed writing that would shame a soap opera.
Lu's script is functional, with leaden dialogue and plotting that tells rather than reveals. Yet the performances are painfully alive...
Perhaps most importantly, it feels like a tale that hasn't been told before.
Gloomy, authentic, essential: this auspicious feature debut from writer-director Jenny Lu is an anti-fairy tale of forgotten women and the false promises of end-stage capitalism.
Jenny Lu has crafted a very human story that balances the domestic with high drama.
Quietly moving in the way it reflects a country in crisis, where outsiders are unwelcome and easily exploited and class is no protection against the chill winds of austerity.
