So, Simon Says, Simon Says is an interesting exploration of change and nostalgia. It encapsulates this haunting atmosphere of a city slipping away, with Yeung Por Por at the center, her impending departure looming. The pacing feels almost meditative, allowing the viewer to soak in the last moments of her familiar surroundings. The performances are understated yet poignant; there's a rawness in the interactions that feels authentic. Practical effects are sparse but effective, grounding the story in reality. It’s this blend of personal struggle and the broader societal shifts that makes it distinctive. You can really sense the weight of what’s being lost as she wanders through Wan Chai, taking in everything one last time. Definitely a film that sticks with you, if you're into exploring themes of displacement.
