This is a director who wants to portray real life. A film that gives life insights, but in my opinion, the effect is not ideal; discussing emotional detours and deficiencies in real life, the most important thing is to be reasonable, the characters can be imperfect, the fate layout can be dramatic, but only reasonable, like The ups and downs of nature follow the eternal law, and only what people want can resonate with the audience and move people's hearts!
From the very beginning of the story, the director showed us straight to the point that Emilia, the heroine, was facing the difficult life situation. Pain brings pain and torture to a mother's heart! This kind of pain is an insurmountable mountain range for every woman, not to mention that Emilia is also burdened with guilt and self-blame as the film explains to us later!
Through Emilia's flashback memories, we learned the ins and outs of how this seemingly nervous new family was formed; as the plot progressed, the director let us see the willful and cruel stepmother, Yan A harsh and emotional ex-wife, and a cowardly and powerless father, except for the boy who is extremely intelligent and sensible, everyone seems to be the most selfish human beings! The sympathy for the heroine is also gradually blurred in the trivial life fragments~
The whole movie viewing experience is like the magma accumulated in the crater. ; In dealing with the impact of the loss of a daughter on the relationship between husband and wife and the entire family, there is no delicate and in-depth discussion of Nicole's "rabbit hole", and the salvation of the soul is easily completed at the end. Those who have been brewing for a long time before. The piercing pain disappeared without a trace before it broke out; after experiencing the ups and downs of life, the ending came too late, neither good nor bad~
The maintenance of love and trust in a family is disgusting no matter how you look at it in this story not enough~
In general, the atmosphere and tone of the movie are just my cup of tea, the elegant and fresh picture, the warm and peaceful soundtrack, and Natalie's restrained and free performance, at least it can support your emotions until the end of the whole movie; just It's hard to be sure if the heroine met the right person at the right time, or the portrayal of each adult character in the play is difficult to give me psychological approval. After watching it, I left some people who wanted to say and say no. Clear depression and melancholy.
