9/10

This gripping psychological drama explores the emotional depth of therapy and memory, using detailed cinematography, natural dialogue, and unpredictable twists to build a suspenseful story around Ruining and Xiao Yan's intertwined minds. With award-winning sound and screenplay, the film masterfully blurs reality and subconscious, making viewers question what's real. Though nearly flawless, a minor casting issue slightly disrupts the believability of one key flashback. Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com)
