#TIFFNextWave#故事就是改编自主演Yfendo的个人经历，将自己成长的struggle重新relive一遍需要更多的勇气，然而the film is poorly done. 作为导演的第一部feature,追求某种storytelling上的consistency and authenticity，但是在dramatization上其实是不合格的---除了screenwriting在结构上的flawed,也缺乏对于underlying issue的in-depth inquiries, 这种破碎只是一种个人化的巧合，或者just blame everything on motherhood? 而在音乐的呈现和主角对于舞蹈的追求上，以一种几乎一笔带过的方式达到了最尴尬的结果。

看完之后，我最大的冲动就是想把舞团在音乐节上跳的舞看完
悬念设置得很高级，让人欲罢不能。
