8/10
Like going to rural China for two hours

Warning: Spoilers
If you were ever curious about what life is like for everyday people in rural China here's your chance to find out. This film is not for the type of people who happily watch blockbusters or mainstream American movies. It's art house Chinese, a road movie almost. The plot is at times a bit confusing and drawn out as we follow the central character on a journey to find his nephew, learning about his life as we go along the way. the film is shot using a handheld camera and following vehicles along it makes you feel as if you are on a tour of the local area. I love Chinese cinema so it didn't take much to persuade me to sit through this gem.
