Wuhan Driver

This film is an impressive dialogue about the working immigrant in a bustling city. The imagery does a great job of highlighting the difficulties of working as a driver when struggling with personal issues, both mental and physical. Through the different passengers the driver interacts with, we get to see these struggles unravel. The style is beautiful and precise. Great work!

"Wuhan Driver" has an interesting story. It's about Zhang, a Chinese man who works as an Uber driver in New York during the COVID-19 pandemic. He wears a face mask even though his passengers don't have to. The film more or less takes place during one difficult night for Zhang. One passenger vomits in his car and another passenger with a crying baby doesn't pay him. I won't spoil the ending, but I honestly didn't find it to be predictable.

The film's cinematography, editing, and writing are superb. Zhang is a protagonist you care about. He's played by Wayne Chang and his performance is great. Most of the acting in the film is good. I think the acting at the end is the main problem I have with the film. It's kinda unconvincing. There's a somewhat awkward scene with Zhang talking to a priest, who's a passenger, but I think it's believable. Conversations can definitely be awkward in real life. Anyway, "Wuhan Driver" is a short film that's worth checking out.
