Mahjong? more like Nahhh-jong
This is an odd film. The story centres around the competition between two family members vying to inherit a Mahjong house.At least I think that was the plot? Honestly, it was pretty boring so I had it on in the background while I was doing work. I'd say the first and last 20 minutes were the only vaguely interesting parts of the film.
The pacing is slow, the stakes don't really seem that high, there's little intrigue, the characters feel flat, and the eccentric humour is...well....eccentric.
Personal highlight was Betty's hair, makeup, and costuming; it gave the aesthetic a touch of retro cool.
