Find You In The Crowd (2017)

I don’t know where to start when something as promising as this short film has fallen so short of delivery. The movie has a very strong premise and the story tackles a very promising play script… but somehow, things get out of hand. The editing is haphazard and one gets very easily lost between past and present – and I am the kind of person who likes And finds it easy to navigate between shifting scenes and look-backs!

Anyway, the acting is the best part of the movie: My compliments to all of the performers inside a movie as complex as this one. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same the music since I don’t understand Chinese and the lyrics escaped me completely; but, it didn’t quite sound very complementary of the different scenes.

Perhaps I will come back to see this movie again and try to make a little bit more sense of the different shifts and time and place… although, a movie shouldn’t be turned into a detectives’ game and one shouldn’t have to put it together like a puzzle.
