Récompenses

This impressively assured directorial debut offers a delicate portrayal of a lonely middle-aged woman hopelessly estranged from her family and society. Anchored by the impeccable performance from the female lead, the film masterfully delivers an in-depth look into a woman's psyche and sensitivity.

In her finely-etched portrayal of a neglected, undistinguished middle-aged woman confronted with pressures from all aspects of life and her inevitable physical transition, Chen completely immerses herself in her character and elegantly brings to life a conflicted soul wrestling with her unquenchable desire.
