There are no likable characters in this movie.
Even the protagonist is mainly just a victim. She shows some tenacity, but we don't really get to know her enough to like her.
Shows that Chinese people were scapegoated, mistreated, excluded, robbed, murdered in the 1800s.
Shows a poor Chinese father selling his daughter into sex slavery.
Everyone the protagonist encounters mistreats her.
Not a fun movie. Its redeeming social value, if it has one, is in showing the fallout from racism and sexism.
Which is perhaps unnecessary. For a downer, any day's news will do.
A movie should at least have a likable character. This movie lacks one.
