User comments:

"It's either purely commercial or artistic. The style is so split, the characters are so exaggerated, and the ending is so forced. The only thing worth watching is the photography."

"I hate art films disguised as commercial films, I hate pretentiousness without substance, I hate fragmented style language, and I hate long, motionless shots as so-called style."

"A common problem among typical art film directors is that they try to do both, but fail to do either well, and the result is a mess."

“Watching a movie will make you think deeply.”

"A powerful middle-aged actress like Jiang Qinqin's is really worth a movie ticket."

It is understood that "Grass and Trees" is the first anti-MLM film in China, directed by Gu Xiaogang and starring Wu Lei, Jiang Qinqin, Chen Jianbin and others.

The film premiered at the Tokyo International Film Festival on October 28 last year. In March this year, Jiang Qinqin won the Best Actress Award at the 17th Asian Film Awards for her role in "Grass and Trees".

It is reported that the film tells the story of He Mulian, a newly graduated college student, who sacrifices himself to save his mother Wu Taihua after discovering that she is deeply involved in pyramid schemes.
