Don’t insult the pig if you celebrate the New Year. Don't insult film noir.

I really can't see the director's "black humor" efforts in the performance of the movie's ending, nor can I see the "sarcasm" in the plot setting that leaks like a flour sieve. Is it difficult to admit that this is a youth HE drama? At least this positioning can retain some basic logic for the film.

It's hard to imagine that this is the director of "Female Spy", but who hasn't been offline yet.

I didn't like heroines. Later, I didn't like heroines. As a youth film with pros and cons dualism, black is black, black and white, the director and screenwriter actually made me dislike the heroine. This is the biggest failure. Then I hopelessly fell in love with S because of her so powerful charm that she couldn't hide it. This is simply a torture to my audience in this film. The two heroines are both excellent actors. This is a movie produced by Lionsgate. However, the key link (starting after S's death) in this film is how mentally retarded it came. It is completely aimed at nancy drew's style idol drama. Please, you can't be a nancy drew as a heroine, you really are nancy drew? What is the point of making a movie?

Many people compare this show with Gone girl. Of course it is incomparable. However, both directors actually have the problem of smoking half of the filming, let alone fat. David Fincher portrays an amazing sparkling woman and declares that she is crazy, while Paul Figg arranges for a man to run over her in a car and declares that she is a fool.

    Green tea and white lotus meet a neurotic woman, and there is a scumbag in the middle. Is this story enough blood? Although the routine was actually shot well, it was much better than expected. Anna is petite, but she is not inferior to the goddess. The goddess's character is strong and publicized and has an innate advantage, but her acting skills are slightly inferior, and she failed to go further, especially when she confronted her twin sister, she did not show her neurotic and domineering side, but as a TV stars, with a movie masterpiece like Shark Beach, maybe it's enough. . . ?

    Large-scale fashion show, Blake Lively is too seductive, and there is a powerful bitch under the beautiful skin. Hong Kong Zhen, although bitch, really doesn't dislike her, on the contrary, she has a bit of Stockholm Syndrome feeling towards her. On the contrary, I believe that the audience is generally more concerned about Stephanie who became the final big winner. This character is more bitch than Emily. Looking at the overall situation, who is more bitch than who. The style of painting is not heavy, it is very easy to tell stories, and there is a bit of Quentin style from time to time. In the first half of the finale BGM "Laisse Tomber Les Filles", the selection is really appropriate, sublimating a bitch to the extreme. But there is something wrong with the story, the rhythm is not integrated enough, and the ending is too hasty. Three and a half ★★★☆
