Throughout the story, I didn't really know what type of movie Ju Dou was supposed to be. It came off as an emotional drama, but at the same time, there were many instances of quirky humor that blended into the drama. However, the humor was very entertaining. The cinematography was quite beautiful, capturing the rural Chinese landscape. I also liked the in-depth look at Chinese society. The actors were all fairly good in their roles.
The worst thing I have to say about this film would be the strangeness of it and also the slow pace of the beginning. I feel like the film spent too much time introducing the characters and not enough time explaining their situations.
Overall, Ju Dou is an interesting film. It's not a classic or one that I will want to watch again, but parts of the film were entertaining enough for me to enjoy.
