Zhen Xiang (2025)

Hm, it delivers the message well I guess

First-time reviewer here and English is not my first language, so please take the review with a grain of salt.

I hope this will get another movie to continue since the ending made me go: "That's it??"

It's a solid movie, conveying the messages that it was supposed to, like an essay and argument delivered to the watchers. I missed the first few minutes of the film since I was late to the cinema, so there were some details I didn't catch. Towards half of the movie, the case was pretty much solved, very straightforwardly, which makes me wonder what they are going to do about the other half of the movie. They went down the route of making emotional scenes and social commentary. It was fine. Just don't watch it as a mystery, solving case kind of movie.

It was an interesting watch for me since it touches on how the social media/news industry works, specifically in China. Cinematography and effects were good. The storyline was predictable for me, still, I wasn't bored.

I only put rewatch value at 8 since, without the continuation, I would be kinda disappointed, the ending could have been smoother.
