Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an aggregated score of 36% based on 11 critic reviews.[8]

Leslie Felperin of The Guardian rated it two out of five stars and wrote "the film takes itself a bit too seriously and reshuffles the deck of plot tropes instead of inventing its own ideas..."[9]

Film Hound Magazine criticized Li's poor storytelling by stating "...perhaps not a great structural storyteller or indeed a fluid one, as evidenced by the amount of scenes that end on a fade to black..." overall giving the film three out of five stars. [10]
