If there's one thing you should know about this film is that the acting from its two leads: Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun is truly what makes this film worthwhile. I could do without some of the plot and how it all unfolds isn't the movie's strong suit. It's a little disjointed because of the back and forth but overall the story is fine. But with such strong performances between the Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun there's no question that this should be watched. These two are such versatile actors and apparently their friendship went beyond the filming cause they're bff off screen. The male lead is nothing to write about which is a shame since the film seems weaker because of his lack of... well just about anything. A shame really. Anyways the film is really pretty with some good music used to evoke emotion. The movie did stay with me for a while and worth your time to see great acting from these actresses.
They won Golden Horse for Best Actress together (a first for the award), which is not only thematically on point but so well deserved. You should watch their acceptance speeches. It's adorable.
