Yes, we finally get a trailer! I've been waiting to see this since Cannes.

2 out of 5 for me.

A totally okay film that was nice to fill the time with, but didn't offer anything extra. It's not Jia's weakest film, but certainly not the strongest either. I just don't think he offers anything new or exciting, even if it's a competent expression of the modern Chinese society. I would even prefer if it it was a bit longer, as the depiction of time felt a little sloppy. Also, 2018 already had some better Chinese films of what I saw.

Is that how your scale works? 2 is average?

More or less. 1 is bad, 2 is mediocre/average, 3 is good, 4 is very good/great, 5 is exceptional/amazing.

I'll probably have to wait until this is available for streaming. No sign of it playing anywhere near me.
