Sunday Safe Betearly ratingWhy it’s a Sunday Safe Bet
It was a box office smash, though it had almost no lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of anyone who's survived a family wedding and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1929: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Xie Lijun, a young married woman, is bored by her husband Wang Qiping and attracted to Chen Mengtian, a superficially more appealing and apparently richer man. Chen tells her not to worry if her husband discovers their involvement: he will simply have a lawyer friend start divorce proceedings.
