The film is similar to Agnès Varda's "Five to Seven O'clock", but compared with the former New Wave style of pure stream of consciousness, it has its own merits in suppressing and suspenseful atmosphere, and this film pays more attention to the narrative structure. The interlocking events made the viewers follow the heroine's heart ups and downs. They experienced torture and fear in just one day. In the end, all the parties involved were indifferent and condensed under the lens on both sides of the last dining table. , meaningful, the filming technique shown by Mengji in this film obviously surpasses the story itself, and has the important significance of the style of the post-new wave era.

    In my eyes, a good movie has a very simple standard: I don’t want to fast forward, and I even have to go back and taste it many times, especially the long shots with “unspecified words”, the kind of soft taste around the fingers. Hey, it reminded me of bad memories of watching women give birth at the clinic when I was a child, and other people who accompany others to have abortions.

    It was completely watched with the look and feel of a horror movie, especially since 30 minutes later, the three of them were crowded in a cramped hotel room and plotted this deal. The various gray and dark tones correspond to the psychology of the characters, even in the boyfriend's house. In that part, I was still thinking about the other side of the hotel just like the heroine, the unease when I was surrounded by my boyfriend's family, the sudden dog barking, the rapid panting... The emotion was so well-adjusted, and the performance was great. Light at a small cost!
