Mixed feelings about this one.
Zhao Wei's directing debut -- so I wasn't a fan of the choppy development. It also got boring at points so the fast forward button was my best friend.
But the way the story was handled left a weird (in a good way) taste in my mouth. The whole setup and plot development really just builds to the end, where Zheng Wei says "youth is just something for us to be nostalgic about"
And then the major reveal at the end really made me realize that no one was really at fault -- everyone was just making bad decisions because they were young.
Did I like how the movie felt? Yes
Did I love the acting? Yes. Everyone really spoke to my feelings.
Would I watch it again? For the few major quotes, maybe (I'm a huge quotes person)
Was I a fan of Zhao Wei as a director? Not my cup of tea.
