Cry Me a Sad River

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.

This movie is one of the productions that reflects the peer bullying in China. I think they handle romance as well as drama. The acting of the lead girl was also very good. If only we could protect children from violence, and if only everyone could raise their own child properly enough to treat other people's children well. I recommend watching it, you won't regret it.

Not a cute story more hard hitting cried in some parts. Acting was excellent especially the main lead girl felt all her emotions. Was a good movie.

This movie is the greatest movie I saw since I watched Parasite ! how could a movie like this be unpopular ! everyone should see it

This would have been a great movie, if it wasn't so rushed and the execution wasn't that progressive. Some scenes were presented as flashes of images spitted at you out of nowhere and they were actually events that happened and you should have figure it out. In other words, you should pay really close attention, use your imagination and don't mind the open ending to like this movie. The performances were good though and the scenary and settings very well filmed.
