A Realistic Portrayal of Abuse
I wanted to write a review because this movie didn’t have any reviews before this. This is my first review that I have written.I really liked how realistic this movie portrays abuse. The abuse isn’t too graphic but the scenes stick with you throughout the movie. Tong Li Ya and Wu Yu Han did a phenomenal job in acting and showcasing this particular story of abuse. I really felt the emotions and pain Xu Min was feeling throughout the entire film. The supporting cast did an excellent job in portraying their characters as well; especially Wang Ying Lu. (A favorite scene of mine was the bedroom scene with Xu Min and Xiao Meng).
Throughout the movie, I was constantly rooting for Xu Min to be able to get away from her husband but realistically it isn’t that simple. The movie does an excellent job in how nuanced abuse can be. The movie also showcases how filing for a divorce can be a demanding both a physically and mentally draining process. The emotional toll on the children as well was a very realistic aspect in the movie. The music didn’t stand out but also didn’t distract from the film. I highly recommend watching this movie if you can handle the topic matter.

Short and Sweet
This movie is a short film that’s around 40 minutes. It shows the struggles of two women getting married when their families aren’t understanding of their love. I thought the story was a simple yet powerful. Many struggles of how two women get married are mentioned and discussed. Each family had their own reasons to be against the marriage. Each character had their own neuaces and no characters was good or bad. All the actors did a great job in their roles. Highly recommended watching it.Was this review helpful to you?
