    At first, I thought superficially that all the stories would be linked together, and I wrote notes to sort out the relationship, but at the end I realized that it was just me thinking too much. The nine stories all tell about the love and affection of ordinary people, and all of them can see the beginning and the end of the story unexpectedly. Personally, I like 239 the most. I feel depressed, sad and think a lot when I watch it. The downside of the film is that it always ends abruptly, making...

    Nine one-shot stories, each ending at the saddest, most desperate, and most likely turning point. I'm tired when I see the third or fourth story. It's a bit disgusting to have to refocus on each individual story. The level of each of the nine stories is also a bit messy. I don't know which of them is. Is there any specific relationship between them, or it is the same arrangement as the story of ten minutes old age, the last one is the...

    Nine simple and realistic stories, the different fates of nine women are similar to the saying that happiness is similar, and misfortune is different. I like the ninth story, Fanning is still an innocent little girl, and the mother's person is so warm and powerful Long takes, clever character connections, what a mature director, actor and script can...

    Nine lives, nine names, nine women, nine scenes, and nine long shots, telling the joys and sorrows and fate. There is no special connection between the stories, but they form a unified style because they are written by the same director. A story in just ten minutes, the shots are perfectly arranged in the space, the emotions of the characters are constantly being pulled but always full, the atmosphere is peaceful and quiet, avoiding the noise, which makes the dialogue of the protagonist more...

    Nine women, nine stories, nine cross-sections of life, nine in the end. The director gave up editing and adopted a more difficult shooting method, trapping each woman in a single lens to show that they were trapped in a painful situation and unable to move. The overall tone of the film is sad and bleak, but it also reflects a little warmth in the details. This is the inner tenderness of the technical...

    Imaginary is greater than reality, but I can find a little figure of myself

    Maybe it's absent-minded, and the expectations are still too high.
    I like Sally, dealing with disabled fathers and tired mothers, listening to their grumbles, watching their tired faces, and then smiling silently. It is a promise or disdain, because I love you more and more times. That’s how life...

    Some details

    Needless to say, all paragraphs are just a mirror.

    1. Mother/daughter
    feminine theme, it emphasizes women's mother/daughter identity.
    Except for Diana and Sania (they are pregnant women and will become mothers), the protagonists in other stories have a daughter or have a clear daughter identity...
