Queens is a quiet yet intense dive into the psyche of a struggling canton-pop star. Veronica’s insomnia and anxiety bleed through each frame, creating an atmosphere thick with tension. The film’s pacing feels almost agonizingly slow at times, but it serves to amplify the depth of her despair and fear of being overshadowed. Vanda, the mysterious figure, adds a layer of intrigue, almost like a haunting shadow—her own ambition colliding with Veronica's fading light. It's this interplay of desperation and ambition that makes the narrative distinct. Performances are raw, with a kind of authenticity that pulls you in. Practical effects are minimal but effective, emphasizing the emotional over the flashy, making it a compelling character study.
