When I first watched it, I didn't really like it a little bit, thinking it was a traditional legal defense theme, but later I found that when grace appeared, the two main lines of memory and reality brought the originally dull plot into a lot of excitement. , and when I thought it had entered the inference mode, the film pulled the camera back to the courtroom. I have to say that the director was very bold to try this kind of multi-angle shooting, because one carelessness would make the film confusing. This film The post processing is not so great.
When Grace ripped off the scumbag, the plot felt a bit forced, and even a little unreasonable. Although the second female is a novice lawyer, after the defendant grace clearly told her that she killed someone and threw them into the basement, the person disappeared when she came back. Is it a bit of a problem for the lawyer to insist that the person did not die without much verification? Too aggressive? What if someone really died but was hidden by grace's son? The lawyer always said that he believed in Grace, but after Grace made it clear that she did beat people to death with a club, she didn't believe in Grace... The thought before and after is a bit contradictory.... It feels like a bit of an eye opener to know something As if you can believe what you shouldn't believe, the lawyer's brain circuit is very strange at this time.
Moreover, Grace's brain circuit is not very normal. After she learned that she was cheated, she could find an opportunity to collect evidence to clear her grievance, and the man was so stupid that he did not shy away from cheating in marriage, even in front of her. After admitting her crime, grace could record it and sue the police, but she did something more stupid... It really doesn't look like a person who has worked in a bank for many years.. ...
And the friend who set up the game to trap her is not very clever. He even sacrificed his stupid son. When he did bad things, he was recorded by the bank. A little bit of research can trace the clues... But the bank's people simply and rudely put the blame on the old employee Grace. Such unreasonable behavior is also quite speechless. The second half of the movie is generally weird, there are so many slots...
However, this movie still has its advantages. At least from Grace's memories, I can see how important it is to identify scumbags in time and stay away from them. You need to be calm, just take off your guards immediately after a few flowers and a few meals, and show a pattern of seeing each other late is really bad... Another advantage is that the movie is quite echoing, The old lady who jumped off the building at the beginning also explained the reason for jumping off the building at the end. The director's overall idea is good, but the logic of the story begins to collapse in the second half, and the trial is a bit inexplicable. It's too confusing and loses the coherence of the narrative. The reversal at the end is really too blunt... But the first half The part is really good, and the script should be revised to follow the logic later.
