In Broad Daylight (2023)
Genre: Drama
Me rates it: 3.7/5
Altered and based on a true story, the piece reflects general neglect of social issue of everyday citizens and expressed the dark side of the media: only covering titles that might go viral.
Yu acting as a senior reporter along with Chiang’s performance absolutely blows this movie out of the water. Exposing the harsh reality of living situations and systematic failures for the aid in Hong Kong.
As always, try lowering your expectations, and just enjoy the movie together or alone.
