SHE, A CHINESE (2009) - Sept. 11, 2009
About a girl from a Chinese village who moves to a small city, and then later to London, England. Xiaolu Guo's direction was mostly okay, though the aggressively drab, muddy digital cinematography certainly didn't do the film any favours, and Guo's use of music was a tad iffy. Still, it was fairly entertaining for the first little while (mainly because of Lu Huang's compelling performance), but by the last third of the movie (the London stuff, basically) it had really started to wear out its welcome, and by the end I was completely ready for it to be over. **
