The plot was actually very good, the subtleness at the beginning really helped but the sudden escalation and the second half really made the whole look really "rushed and lame". There was so much potential to navigate the growth between Yi Yao and her mother. Her character lost its charm at the end, she could have been so much more.
The redeeming part could be the subtleness of the serious issues and the overall ambiance. But honestly it could have been so much more.
It is a fine enough watch when you're craving some "emo" chinese movie with a good enough setting and tolerable enough main characters.
