Yolo

A movie full with delicate portray of emotions, it is quite touching and encouraging.

I'm not saying it is perfect but it is a good feminist movie, telling a story from a completely women's perspective and describing how she break her 10 year low ebb and painful life and become a better person.

The actress herself lost a solid 100lbs makes it perhaps the biggest stunt, but the movie is definitely more than just losing weight. The core is about self-reconciliation. I highly recommend watching it.

Other side is, it is just a movie made by a female director and got some success in China, so I personally don't understand why some Chinese men got so mad that they even come here to write bad review in a group together - the poor wording that is obviously from Chinese-English online translation has made everything even funnier.

I mean, why, what's the point guys.

This is just fun to watch, I never knew these men can be this triggered, maybe this proves YOLO's incisiveness from some point: our Chinese Ken has just been enraged because the success is not men and horses from their mojo dojo casa house🤣

This movie is amazing. It's so hard to describe the impact it had on me just by words, so I recommend everyone to watch it in the cinema, experiencing the impact brought by the movie's visuals, music, and cinematography and I believe you will reckon it worths too. Many scenes deeply touched me when I watched it. Seems like the other audiences got the same feeling as we were just so into the movie, all stayed and reluctant to go when it ends until the staff came in to clean the chair. It's never too late to make changes in life, striving for yourself once, compared with the past self, progress is a true win. Appreciate the hard work and contribution made by Leying - Jialing, the main girl and meanwhile the director of this movie, bringing us a self-redemption from a female perspective. The best fit of international women's day!

"Le Ying" (Ling Jia) is a larger lass who has little success with anything save for half-drinking cola and sleeping for most of the day. She's been left a flat by her grandmother but her soon to be divorced sister "Dou Dou" (Zi Yang) needs some property if she is to be able to continue sending her daughter to private school. After initially agreeing to a transfer, a barney ensues and she storms out determined to find somewhere of her own to live. That means a job. Discipline. She gets a job in a BBQ joint for a boss who's a bit of a lecher, but she can deal with him. It's he who sends her to fetch some cigarettes from his car and that's where she rather curiously encounters "Hao Kun" (Jiayin Lei) who is a boxing coach at a gym round the corner. He's not having much success recruiting new clients so she agrees to be one. Now, on the face of it, she's not the most likely of boxers, but what now ensues sees her face a series of challenges that make her think deeply about who she is and who she wants to become. This reality check is only exacerbated by an appearance on her sister's rather comically cynical television talent show that makes "X Factor" look like "Mastermind" (though it does feature quite an entertaining strop between the panellists). The story itself meanders along a bit too slowly - it doesn't need to be over two hours long, but there can be no denying the effort put in by Ling Jia as her character comes to an empowering degree of self-realisation. It's a bit stereotypical, I suppose, but it's also quite frank and entertaining. It's can be funny, a little poignant and there's just the merest hint of chemistry between the two boxers. I doubt you'll remember it for long, and the ending is a bit of a muddle, but it is worth a watch.

This movie reflects my personal life journey: always trying to back off, to please others, to say fine, till one day I was literally at the edge of the cliff. And I decided to change.

Even though right now I am not anything close to the most successful, the wealthiest, the most famous human being in the world, but I am proud of myself. I am proud of myself learning to say no, to set boundaries, and to have a goal and be laser-focused on my goal.

And, if you are struggling with the feeling that you've tried so hard but nobody appreciates you, I could tell that you are actually a really powerful person as you have so much to give. Just try to focus on yourself and your goal more.

I would recommend it to anybody who is or who was a people-pleaser.

I don't understand why someone would be so malicious about this movie and give it a one-star rating without even watching the full movie. Is it really just because this is a movie directed by a woman, as some viewers in mainland China said? When my parents and I walked out of the movie theater, we both had our own thoughts. Even a chauvinist like my father saw the power of disadvantaged groups in society who long to understand and change themselves. This movie represents the cry of the lower class people in China. It just happened to be filmed by a female director. Of course, this is not necessarily a coincidence.
