The movie was full of suspense. Two sisters share the same name, Qiao Yan. Who is the real Qiao Yan? They worked hard and came from the countryside. They both keep a secret, especially, the younger sister, Xiao Qiao. She went to the big city to get a better life and tried to delete the memories from her childhood. The younger sister has become an actress, while the older sister, Da Qiao, was smuggled from Myanmar. Besides this, she was also in debt. She's pregnant but had to worry about her children's legal ID issues. Xiao Qiao worried that if her secret was exposed, it would ruin her image and her current wealthy life, so she treated her sister with a cool detachment. Xiao Qiao also questioned the purpose that Da Qiao came to look for her, for money or ID. They fought. They both got very defensive, but, still, Da Qiao is the only family she has. Two sisters love each other.

Liying and Zhilei's acting skills are very engrossing. They deserve a bigger audience. If you are looking for some popcorn movies that serve simply as enjoyable entertainment. This film doesn't fit you. If you like a slow-burn psychological film, then you must watch this one, The Unseen Sister.

I was extremely impressed by Zhao Liying's acting. Her performance was raw and emotionally charged. She had great chemistry with her co-star, and her subtle body language really added depth to the character. As well as, Xin Zhilei. Their body language and movement aligned with the characters.

My tears kept filling when I saw two sisters hugging.

This film sparks deep contemplation and discussion. It engages with complex ideas and themes. The whole storyline is simple and flat, but each scene is visually stunning. I like these long takes, but each scene lacks some timely and logical connection between them.

I like this kind of art film even though it makes me depressed. But if you are looking for something entertaining, this film may not be suitable for you.

Mysterious story line makes me feel excited. Plus 10 points for the scripts! Excellent!

The light and shadow suit well every scene. Plus 10 points for the director and cinematographer! Great job!

The acting skills of the 2 main leads are also excellent.

Zhao Liying is the spotlight here. Look, how she transformed amazingly. I'm very surprised of her acting skills. She's a super star now. Plus 10 points for Zhao Liying! Great job!

The ending is a surprise to me.

This is the movie for the real fans of artful movies. Highly recommend to watch this.

I'm very disappointed of the anti-fans here to downgrade this movie. I believe good prevails evil!

I never think that china movie could be good in that way. This film remind me so much about Decision to leave last year. The color and frame of this film's cinematography is simply beautiful and meanful. In my opinion, i very like the sceen that Xiao Qiao get to Great Wall with Da Qiao. In China, the image of Great Wall was printed in the ID card. So, when they came to this place, they feel so helpless, powerless, cause they are yearning for their identification. And i think this is why people setting the film in winter, because in Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao's mind, their life were frozen on the day that event happened. Maybe the end will not be satisfied for some people, but for me, it was reasonable.
