Reception

edit

Clarence Tsui of The Hollywood Reporter called the film an "enigmatic socially conscious thriller delivered with visual flair."[2] May Seah of Today wrote that while the film "does have glaring faults", the "way in which it presents its ideas is thought provoking enough to make this a film worth watching."[3]

Jocelyn Lee of The New Paper rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that Chan is "natural and convincing".[4] Lin Mingwen of the My Paper rated the film 3 stars out of 5.[5] John Lui of The Straits Times rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote: "There is nothing wrong in challenging an audience with ambiguity or a discursive story – the art lies in making it all feel of one piece."[6]
