Electra complex and growth

It's been a long time since I had these many thoughts, especially my favorite low-budget movie!
I planned to write a film review, but I wrote 8,230 words.
Only the last part is posted:

Fa shark's acting skills are overwhelming; the girl is fresh and natural, with a lack of detail and level, but it does not affect the viewing of the movie.
The whole film is 123 minutes long. If you watch it separately, about 2/3 parts of the first 84 minutes tell a hormonal but erotic love story, how the Electra girl and the liar hunter are attracted to each other, and the performance of Fa Shark is even worthy. Textbooks for such scumbags. About 1/3 of the last 36 minutes is the girl's self-salvation.
Although it is a small-budget work, the script is great, the story structure, plot advancement, character setting and shaping are reasonable and full, the details to be portrayed are full of information, there is not too much dialogue, but the psychological activities are vividly on the screen, it can be seen that the female director exquisite. Of course, it depends on Fa Shark. His grasp of the details is very precise, accurate and tepid, which is admirable.
The disadvantage is that the space is limited, and there is no more foreshadowing and transition for the girl's psychology. Of course, it is also because the heroine is a little green, but I personally think that the conditions are limited, and insufficient is better than excessive. Some viewers who are not enough can make up for it, and if they are too much, they will affect the mood of watching the movie and cannot be invested.
