• Surprising little gem of a mystery...

  lyx-12016-08-28

  This little gem of a movie takes place in rural China revolving round several complex relationships and families linked together by the death of an unlikable thug who is also the key connector of what goes on in these separate families. Beyond the central mystery of the coffin, the various stories of the families unfold in a non-linear fashion, forward and back in time, the characters of each family impacting the fate of another in intriguing ways. Unlike many Asian movies that rush into the popular "mystery" genre, the film is replete with twists and turns that manage to be intelligently coherent, the ends all tie together, the audience slowly grasps the bigger picture and its resolution is immensely satisfying.

• The script is very good

  The script is very solid, and it is one of the few conscience works in China. Not complicated events, through three lines, show the different performance of different people. The plots of each line are full, and there is a clear time point between them. The performances were simple, but the defect was that the score was too stingy. Personally, I think we have found a good balance between literature, art and commerce, which is neither noisy nor dull. Unfortunately, it is obvious that the publicity budget can not keep up with the box office can not reflect the quality.

• Looks like a excellent student work

  Like the vicar's egg,just like an excellent student work with a high degree of completion. The polished script is the biggest highlight, in addition, the music, performance and camera language are not mature, which need to be improved.
