The atmosphere is thick with tension, as the impending anti-Chinese riots loom overhead.

The performances are striking; the lead captures a haunting vulnerability that resonates long after the credits roll. What stands out is its unflinching portrayal of survival and identity amidst chaos. Plus, the practical effects used for the riot scenes lend an authenticity that’s hard to shake off.
