I genuinely enjoyed this movie. It tells a powerful story about a global event that changed all of our lives, and it does so with honesty and restraint. The filmmakers tackled a sensitive and controversial topic, and I admire the courage it took to bring this story to the screen.
The cast is excellent across the board, with strong, believable performances. One standout is the actor who plays Andrew-he looks uncannily like a young Keanu Reeves, and he brings a quiet intensity to the role that really stuck with me.
What I appreciated most was how the film avoids sensationalism. It's not about shock value or politics. Instead, it focuses on people-how they coped, struggled, and tried to make sense of what was happening around them. That human focus is what gives the movie its emotional weight.
If you're Chinese, I think this film holds particular significance. It offers a perspective that isn't often seen on screen and invites reflection, not judgment. Whether you agree with its take or not, it starts an important conversation.
The direction and writing are both strong-confident without being heavy-handed. Every scene feels purposeful, and the story unfolds in a natural, grounded way.
Kudos to the director, screenwriter, and everyone involved in bringing this film to life. It's not easy to tell a story like this, especially when it's still fresh in people's minds. But they handled it with care and conviction.
In a world full of forgettable films, this one stands out. It's quiet, thoughtful, and brave-and it deserves to be seen.
Highly recommended.

Just watched this film, and I have to write something... It's really something special. It's rare to see an indie movie take on such a big, complex subject with this much depth and emotional weight. On the surface, it's a medical thriller, but underneath, it feels like an epic - a story that goes far beyond one character or event and touches on something much greater.
The film doesn't rely on flashy effects or over-the-top spy action. Instead, it builds tension through its characters, the moral stakes, and the sheer difficulty of the choices they're forced to make.
It's one of those rare indie films that dares to tackle something bold, and actually pulls it off.

Thanks to the directors of the film and the actors for their efforts to let the western people understand the essence of the communist party and its harm to mankind.
I was born in mainland china, growing up in the absurd era of china, Being educated by the communist party to split personality,distorted human nature and mutated thinking. I have done a lot of things that I am reluctant.
The personality expression of the characters in this film is very real. I am very glad that I came to a free and democratic country in the west and got rid of the the control of the communist party. I found my real self.

I heard about this film on the radio and decided to give it a shot. Honestly, I didn't expect much at first, but it really surprised me. It's not a big-budget movie, but it carries a lot more weight than I anticipated.
What makes the film engaging isn't just the suspense or the plot twists, it's the way it encourages viewers to think about real-world issues. It's not loud or overdramatic, but it captures the quiet strength of those who take risks to speak out, people we rarely hear about, even though their actions can have a huge impact on the world.
In a time when it's easy to feel powerless, stories like this matter. They remind us that one voice can still make a difference.

I watched the movie yesterday in Toronto. I can't tell my appreciations to the producers and directors. Many scenes in it, including the epidemic outbreak, the lockdown, and the national mourning of the doctor, are what we experienced in person when we were in China, and I am so deeply touched! We should never forget this history, the whole world should never forget this history! I want to tell every one: go to watch the movie! Every Chinese, everyone in the world should understand what evils had caused the epidemic that make so many people lost their loves, their friends and even their own lives. Should we let this happen again??!!
