The homogenization of Netflix's youth-themed film and television dramas is too serious. This film is a very typical case. Its framework can be regarded as an LGBT variation of Netflix's latest hit "To All the Boys I've Loved Before". The essence of "Face" that Wu Siwei is praised by the outside world is that it inherits the similar qualities to Ang Lee's "Father Trilogy", and has a keen insight into the collision of Chinese and Western cultures. In this romantic film about American teenagers with basically the same cultural identity (although the protagonist is of Chinese descent, the entire cognitive stage takes place in the United States), the narrative belonging to Asians is submerged instead. Wu Siwei abandoned almost all the advantages of her immigrant experience perspective and made an American youth film that is inherently vulgar. ★★

16 years later, Wu Siwei is still talking about love romantically and tenderly. I hope next time I won't wait 16 years for so long...
