Her Drunken Diary

The trailer touted it as the event of the summer of 2024, but unfortunately, the film's magic seems to have been left on the cutting room floor. I can't imagine how the creators managed to turn such great dramatic material, written by life itself, into a medley of life’s mini-episodes. The first half of the film doesn’t really work, jumping from place to place, from one period to another... I understand that maybe this was supposed to accelerate the plot and stir up the tension and drama, but it didn’t work for me at all. The second half of the film is noticeably better. The plot finally becomes more cohesive, and it’s easier to follow the character development. The post-production team also finally calmed down and stopped making alcohol ads, as well as camera and visual effects tricks... The film deservedly earns three stars for the acting performances, which were absolutely amazing and captivating from everyone, and for the story itself, which is truly powerful and definitely deserves attention.
