Rich and fun to watch!

Watched this at about 2AM whilst waiting around in A&E (that's the ER at a hospital, if that helps), so memories are a little fuzzy, but honestly it was a blast and made the wait so much easier.

Chen Kun is having fun with the role and is a joy to watch, and Qu Chu Xiao does so well balancing the comedic and serious aspects of his character. Shen Yue, as well, brings her character to life without being a caricature and functions well within the film. Zhou Xun's Bai Ni is sincere and powerful, phsyically and emotionally.

Visually, the film is absolutely beautiful. Just a joy to watch. Didn't know the film was based on a game but, in hindsight, I can see the bones of it within the film. The overall style is so well done and fully realised, and I found it so easy to watch.

Definitely worth a watch, and would recommend as a rewatch. Though there is a twist at the end, the foreshadowing is there for you and makes watching again a good experience.
