Good theme and nomal actors, it will be great as wobushi Yaoshen if have a good director. About the things described in this movie, You would never know until things happen in yourself, hopping more people see it then take more attention, especially in China, and I also wanna see more movies like this. It is good for China, really.

A Lost Potential

[soniyay · 7/10 · 10 April 2024]

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.

Worth a watch

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.

Not Good Enough

[PennyReviews · 4/10 · 21 November 2018]

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.

Masterpiece

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

So bad

[o-00096 · 1/10 · 21 September 2019]

This is a very bad movie. First of all, the subject matter of shooting school violence is of course good, but it is adapted from the novel of "writer" Guo Jingming. Guo's novel is completely dross, sensational, boring, and completely sensational. The film is even more so, in the words of science fiction "three-body". Is the demotion of IQ!

how can it be so underrated?

[kuollutmeri · 10/10 · 15 June 2020]

This movie is a masterpiece. you won't regret watching it. just watch it. it worths every second you give.

A movie with a purpose

[soeprijo19 · 9/10 · 26 July 2021]

This movie is not for those looking for entertainment. This movie hits our hearts hard, as a teacher, as a parent, as a student or as a friend.

What have we done or haven't done to stop the evil around us? This film makes us think and rethink the value of life.

A film that deserves more attention. Definitely 9/10.

Short review

[dwikirahman · 8/10 · 5 February 2020]

Even i there are some part thar i think its flow to fast... like when tang xiaomi spread the rumor... its make me confused

But the ending si very good. It makes me cry

Nice drama

[tugceaskar · 8/10 · 7 January 2022]

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.

A great movie

[lambertyan · 10/10 · 27 April 2022]
