Lulu the Movie (2016)
A pain to watch
The characters are hollow and somewhat imaginary. The performance is both plain and over-exaggerated. The plot is mostly cliche and for comedic effects, though it's not so funny actually.
As a Chinese national I personally feel uncomfortable and deeply insulted when watching this movie. It depicts the main character as an uneducated and uncivilized woman from China coming to the "civilized" world. However, there are too many unnecessary plots and details that emphasize how ignorant she is in a condescending way (with a connotation of inferiority), which is of course what makes people laugh. It reflects a certain stereotype present in the society, but a movie entertaining the audience by making fun of people from another country is blatant arrogance and discrimination to me.
