too light

Some commented that this is a hit of Chong Ao, I feel that it is very emotional, but the rhythm is too slow and too light, and there are drama conflicts, but not twists and turns. The way to express conflict is mostly language, too little is expressed in plot. The climax of the plot is the hand saw with the chainsaw, which is really good, but that's the only climax. The lead actor is still very good. In terms of theme, it is powerful, but not profound. Limited by the subject matter, it lacks philosophical thinking except for the description of perseverance.

Ree: Man, it's so sad to hear you say he won't let you do somethin' and then you *don't* do it.
Gail: It's different once you're married.
Ree: It really must be. 'Cause you ain't never used to eat no shit.

Ree: He might be hangin' around with Little Arthur and them. You think?
Teardrop: You don't wanna go around Little Arthur's askin' them people about anything they ain't offered to talk about. That's a real good way to end up et by hogs... or wishin' you was.
