About This Movie
The Mermaid (2023) carries a distinct atmosphere, blending whimsy with an underlying loneliness that resonates throughout. Xiangyang, the merman with both male and female traits, navigates a world where he feels perpetually out of place. The film explores themes of identity and acceptance, making it feel both personal and universal. There's a unique pacing that allows moments of reflection, while the practical effects used to depict underwater life add a tangible depth. The performances, especially by the lead, bring a real sense of vulnerability. The way the story intertwines merfolk lore with Xiangyang's journey gives it a fresh twist. The tone oscillates between lighthearted and introspective, which makes it a curious watch.
