About This Movie

So, 'The September of Mine' is an interesting blend of comedy and drama set against the backdrop of the 1990 Beijing Asian Games. The film follows a group of kids, particularly An Jianjun, as they chase after the chance to showcase their martial arts skills in a major performance. It’s got this lightheartedness mixed with the weight of childhood aspirations, and you feel the ups and downs of their journey. The performances have a natural charm, and there’s a certain rawness to the practical effects that give it an authentic vibe. The pacing feels just right, balancing comedic moments with the more serious themes of friendship and betrayal, making it a unique take on coming-of-age storytelling.
