About This Movie

Pia Pia Pia is a fascinating dive into the life of Liu Guang, a character actor grappling with his mid-life crisis in a not-so-simple world. The blend of comedy and drama feels quite layered, with moments of genuine pathos juxtaposed against absurdities, like Liu suddenly becoming a super-powered agent. The film's pacing is a bit off sometimes, but it kind of works with Liu's chaotic life. You see real human struggles wrapped in a quirky premise, and it’s intriguing how they reveal the hidden layers of both Liu and his wife, Duan Meijuan. The practical effects used for Liu's powers have a certain charm, and the performances feel very grounded, which contrasts nicely with the film's surreal turns.
