growing up

The plot is awesome! In just 90 minutes, a woman's meanness, viciousness, arrogance and emptiness are sorted out into rich layers and delicate emotions. It's a normal life and an assembly line life, and the precious thing is that the bitter irony and vicious reality outside life are all pouring out. Then the saddest thing is that when you are old, you have not grown up. The heroine's performance in the film is natural and superb. Growth is not for everyone. Once bright or lonely, it has nothing to do with it. I like the music in the movie.
