I tried so hard to stick with this film, needing to watch it in three parts.

As other users have said, the cinematography is beautiful and it has many redeeming productive value features.

What is critically lacking though is any real reason to get behind the main protagonist Fei. Although he is claimed to be selfless, this really doesn't translate to the film.

Fei is often moping and locked in his own spiral of melancholy. It's difficult to root for a character who doesn't give the audience much to work with!

While not a bad film by any means, at times it can be a real drag to watch and invest in.
