Beyond the Dream

I stumbled upon the 2019 Hong Kong romantic drama titled "Beyond the Dream" from writers Kiwi Chow (whom also directed the movie) and Chun Wing Tsang. Now, I had never heard about this movie prior to watching it, but it being a Hong Kong movie was more than enough to make me sit down and watch it.

And I managed to endure a painstakingly boring 51 minutes of the two hours the movie ran for, because I succumbed and gave up on this boring heap of a movie. The pacing of the narrative was insanely slow, and nothing worthwhile happened as the movie trotted on and on. And I have to say that the character gallery was so flaccid and bland that it just took away from the movie.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Beyond the Dream", but it was just a struggle to watch them bringing boredom to life on the screen.

"Beyond the Dream" from director Kiwi Chow came and went without leaving a lasting impression on me. And come next week, I am sure that all memory of this swing and a miss of a movie will have faded into oblivion.

I was by no means entertained by this movie. And as such, my rating of "Beyond the Dream" lands on a two out of ten stars.
