The film is directed by independent film director Zal Batmanli, and continues to invite old friends from the previous "Listen to My Voice" and also the literary and artistic female Britt Maring from "Another Earth" to join the starring, Sweden High Both handsome guy Alexander Skarsgard and Canadian girl Alan Page both performed well. Veteran stars Julia Ormond and Patricia Clarkson have a few roles. Although there are a lot of commercial film stars, the production level is also considered to be meticulous and sophisticated, and the actors' interpretation is also professional. But the film still exudes a strong literary and artistic temperament, pagan organization, literary women’s minds, gentle leaders, seemingly revolutionary ideas, plus the attitude of wanting to expose in depth but not being able to fantasize, there is no thrilling horse , And there is no bloody tyranny. The period when the daughter punishes the father is a bit abusive, but that's all. Other pretending to be mysterious forest moves and hugging games can only be regarded as small ripples.
In fact, there is not much difference between this film and the director’s last work "Listen to My Voice", from plot routines to the identity of the heroine, both are the heroines undercover to expose the black-hearted enterprises, but this time the incident is more clearly explained. . However, the well-regulated plot directly led to the tepid media evaluation. The New York Times, which was very entangled in the reading, directly stated that "hope to see more profound capitalist contradictions" straightforward comments. As an Oscar outpost, indieWIRE sees more illogical plots. To be honest, the section where the daughter aimed at the big brother father is a bit far-fetched, but it cannot be denied that such righteous men really exist in real life, but there are few pitiful ones. Of course, the director is not so stupid as to expose the crimes of capitalism directly in the form of a documentary like the two directors of "The Good Guys Who Save the World", causing his wealth and lives to be chased by bigwigs. However, the director gave an inexplicable title. It is conceivable that it is not easy to attract too many viewers. Being niche is also the ultimate destiny. Perhaps this is exactly the original intention of the director to keep a low profile. No one else knows. As viewers who don't pay much attention to formalism, we only need to know the director's intention.
