The director is skilled. There is no sympathy or excessive explanation for transgender people, but they are treated as normal people, without tinted glasses, and without bias. The best part of the film is restraint, using a daily narrative method to dilute the curiosity, eroticism, dog blood and the accompanying prejudice that are easy to appear in this type of film. A seemingly bland film narrative. But there are many undercurrents hidden in the calm. Let the audience feel the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the heroine in the calm narrative.

    3.5; "What doesn't kill me will make me stronger", fighting against the wind (worldly prejudice), soaring and detached in the wild dance, the shadow in the fantasy comes again before the body disappears, and let death take away the secret, it is the right thing to do. When saying goodbye; the forbearance of nostalgia did not reduce the intensity of emotion. The darkness in the cabinet was the best in the whole film, and it also led to a suspenseful climax. The ending song was quite wonderful.
