CGiii Comment

When you have the inability to direct comedy - avoid it like the plague.

The first half is played for laughs via a Chinese neighbour...unfortunately, those laughs failed to materialise...due, in part to some duff editing...but, in whole, to the direction - timing, darling - it's everything!

The second half...falls flat.

And, the weak performances don't help either.

The(ir) Blurb...

The film opens on the countdown on the eve of New Year's, 1995. Miss D, a modest transvestite slinks home to her studio in Chinatown as the day breaks. She lets her answering machine play as she recomposes and recovers from the night before. D is startled upon hearing a voice message from her ex-lover Gina and causes commotion. Enter Ms. Ling, D's Chinese neighbor and landlady. Ling agrees to offset D's rent in exchange for herbs and consoles D as they unwind together in an empty bath. As Ling warns D of her ex's selfish ways, the phone rings. Gina is in town. D must decide whether to fall back or break free of the destructive pattern.
