Personally, the movie really exceeded my expectation. A lot of people here are saying this movie is lengthy, bland and uneventful. They say that even if you remove the main character, the plot of this movie would still be the same. Although this may be true, but in my opinion that is the point of this movie. Bili is supposed to be the passive observer that's telling the story and reflecting the deep cultural conflicts between Eastern and Western philosophy. This is supposed to be reflective of real life, and real life is not supposed to have much drama. For people expecting more plots and developments, I would say they chose the wrong movie to watch. I personally find it beautiful that everything played out just the way it did, and I am very appreciative of how real it felt.

To me, this movie was beautifully written and shot, and it is quite moving and funny at the same time. I would say some of the humor may only be understood by people familar with Asian/Chinese culture, but that's not all there is to it. There are also some long shots that may be, but that's about the only thing negative I have to say about this movie. Again, this is entirely personal, but I don't think people should be devaluing it just because of the lack of plotline. Plain and authentic experience could be art as well.

---------------not really a review but fangirling----------------

Finally a Darwin centric episode I'm crying He's an angel...he's too good for this world... I love him with all my heart Brute force and violence doesn't solve anything Let's all spread love ;w;

There are simply so many remarkable things about this episode. It cleverly touches on multiple aspects of the society's double standards towards gender roles in the most humorous and smart ways. I absolutely love the satirical and insightful lines throughout the whole episode, even insignificant lines are often thought-provoking.
