Home for Sale

About This Movie

So, 'Home for Sale' really digs into the psyche of its lead, Ivy, a real estate agent stuck in a less-than-glamorous life in Taipei. The atmosphere feels gritty yet dreamlike, especially when Ivy spots her doppelgänger in that plush apartment across the street. It's not just about the class divide; it dives deeper into identity and aspiration. The pacing is a bit slow, but it lets you marinate in Ivy's longing and frustration. The practical effects are subtle, almost blending into the background, but they enhance the surreal quality of her fantasies. Performances are quite captivating, especially the lead, who brings a certain vulnerability that resonates. It’s a distinct take on the whole ‘grass is greener’ trope.
