Movies must have highlights

This is a movie with few highlights. I watched the first half and thought it was a female version of "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Asylum". The second half is a story of split personality, and split personality is not supported by good audiovisual effects. Duan's chase scene is also not distinctive.
There are obvious successful examples in these aspects. In terms of the lunatic asylum, "Flying over the lunatic asylum" is of course a high-quality product. In terms of split personality, the audio-visual language of "Beautiful Mind" and "The Shining" are very good. On the other hand, "The Third Party" and "Lola Run" are doing very well.
Films without bright spots are not well received.

    Kristen: Couldn't find her.

    Sarah: Well, you probably weren't looking in the right places.

    [indicating Emily, derisive:]

    Sarah: Not with Magellan over there.

  • Sarah: Boo-hoo. Timid little Zoey. Why don't you crawl into your shell and hide, just like a little turtle?

    Emily: Why don't you leave her alone?

    Sarah: What's the matter, Daddy didn't pay enough attention to you?
