The rhythm is too slow, I dozed off watching it, and came here with the expectation of watching a suspenseful detective film, I really couldn't continue watching it. Why does the female lead give up on the male lead, this setting is also quite strange

Don't say it's a bad movie, but I really don't see where the magic is

    The scheduling and rhythm are amazing.

    Replaying, every inch of lens movement is firmly limited to the line of sight, which confines both the character and the audience. The long camera lens is like extended facial features. Why is it not a kind of neurosis to peek? Jeffery's confusion and fear of marriage were cast into the back window one by one, and the audience's desires were also projected onto the screen. Don't forget that Lisa has played the ideal role in Jeffery's heart to gain appreciation. Xi Pang's mockery of the "good ending" is like a secretive, wonderful.
