The film has a slow and hot rhythm and a scrutiny of the general class emotions in British society. It is reminiscent of the passionate and unconventional works of directors such as Derek Jarman, but it is more experimental than the latter. It means that more attention is paid to the linear narrative structure. As for whether the audience will like the movie, it depends largely on whether they agree with Julie's role. On the surface, the film is a formulaic romance, but at the end of the first act, as the story develops further, the audience will clearly feel the director's ambitions even though the director has tried his best to restrain it. Although the film is a slow-paced and seemingly laborious work, if the audience insists on watching it, they will find it worth watching

The film incorporates director Hogg's own experience, but what fills the film is not any dramatic smooth image expression, but deliberately shattered memory fragments. The whole movie is like a handwritten note of emotions. It has no intention of making any political or value expressions. It is really a very personal self-retrospection. The personal nature of this film is so strong that the director does not seem to care whether the audience can really enter the film, but more care about whether the confrontation with oneself is sincere
