Still a long way from a masterpiece

7.1 points. The beginning of the film is very good. It depicts various details of life in a bland and unremarkable tone. It has a feeling of "Adele's Life". The film got out of control as it went on, and finally collapsed. The ending of the film was very bad, and the lines were even more embarrassing. It's a pity.

The whole film is more like a "variant version" of "Big Fish", but it is still too rigid and deliberate compared to the former, because the former is inherently a little fantasy. If the film has always followed the realistic route, don’t deliberately add so many “daddy tricks” plots, and seriously discuss the relationship between father and daughter, then this will definitely be a masterpiece, because it can be seen that the director is good at capturing life Detailed, but unfortunately, the film falls into the rut.

But the film still points out the seriousness of the crisis of old age and youth, which is worth thinking about. Also, the actor's performance is very good.
