Atom User Reviews for Better Days
I heard that it was a good movie, but had my doubts. After watching, I can say that it is amazing crafted movie. The structure and cinematography enhanced the story and the acting was superb. If you enjoy realistic dramas that tackle tough issues, I recommend it.
great film, dark but good story and deep. music is great too
Very straightforward to present the violence in Chinese schools. The power of love between this young couple impressive me so strongly. Can’t stop crying at the moment the boy was trying to protect the girl to be a scapegoat for her. Anyway, totally became a fan of Yiyang Qianxi. He is really attractive and improved his acting a lot.
Metacritic
In Derek Kwok Cheung Tsang’s gripping, superbly performed melodrama — a deeply moving if occasionally overwrought exposé of bullying in the acutely competitive academic pressure cooker of a Chinese high school — it’s hard to imagine she can be nostalgic for her own school days.
