1. Moviezine

5 / 5

Translated from swedish: There's something in Chloé Zhao's films that makes me think of Ang Lee – despite the directors' vastly different styles. It's about a spirit of discovery and curiosity, that driving force to find the human soul and essence of a place or era. She's the outsider who scrutinizes a new reality and captures its essence. Pain, criticism of civilization, and everyday poetry together form a network of scenes. The moments pound relentlessly harsh, unsentimental... and at times painfully beautiful.
