It's hard to tell every point is good There are too many points of refugee human rights art and human rights class exploitation This story tells every point is very clever but it is unexpectedly not so clever when it comes together and the ending is really too broken Directly minus the stars...

A very deliberate and contrived story, integrating all the popular symbols into it, and the director lacks sincerity. The whole film is supported by the so-called creativity, which seems...

The topic is really strong. From the perspective of politics, European refugees, and art, many topics can be derived from various perspectives. But at its core, it's still a melodrama love...

With an idea of the main competition level, the execution becomes a stereotyped third-rate love story, and the high level of creativity is lost. If it unfolds like "Square", this film can be as artistic as the visa tattoos on...

Jeffrey Godefroi: Some pessimists rule that art is dead. Well, I think art has never been more alive than it is today. With my latest work I am exploring a new realm... we live in a very dark era where if you are Syrian, Afghan, Palestinian and so on, you are persona non grata, hmm? The walls rise. And I just made Sam a commodity, a canvas. So now he can travel around the world. Because in the times we are living, the circulation of commodities is much freer than the circulation of a human being. Thus by transforming him into some kind of merchandise, he now will be able, according to the codes of our time, to recover his humanity and his freedom. Now, that's quite a paradox, isn't it?

Jeffrey Godefroi: Sorry, it's not funny.
