advantage:

  1. The heroine's acting skills are great. With the blessing of BGM, the atmosphere is created very well, with a strong sense of substitution and no sense of detachment.
  2. The plot is compact, with almost no procrastination or cumbersome parts.
  3. The story is more interesting, and it also caters more neutrally to the ideas of women's movement and shows resistance to the idea of ​​patriarchy.
  4. It is better to leave blank at the end. On the one hand, it provides the audience with space for self-thinking, and on the other hand, from a commercial point of view, it provides a more flexible processing margin for whether to shoot a sequel.

shortcoming:

  1. The actor's performance lacks a sense of hierarchy, which makes the actor lose a certain three-dimensionality compared to the stage of "invisible man" that relies entirely on imagination because he can feel it intuitively.
  2. To a certain extent, some plots lack logic and realistic rationality. For example: First of all, a person with such attainments in academics, who created a technological device with leapfrog characteristics, was used to bully his ex-wife? Secondly, after being splashed by paint, it quickly regains its invisibility. Is the paint so easy to wash? And since the heroine was under surveillance during the period of her treatment in the mental hospital, why didn't he know that the heroine stole the pen and hid it? etc.

Overall review:

  1. Under the constraint of the cost of 700w, it generally shows an amazing level of shooting, performance, and coordination. Most of the time and most of the plot are satisfactory, and it is an excellent thriller film.
  2. 8 points for the script, 9 points for the director, 8.5 points for the performance (9.5 points for the heroine, 7.5 points for the others), 8.5 points for the soundtrack; 8.5 points overall.
