The Dropout Of Her

About This Movie

The Dropout Of Her is a quiet exploration of isolation and longing, with Kwan at its center. She's trapped in her own literary fantasies, a world that feels safer than the one outside. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to feel the weight of her solitude. Mr. Cheung’s detention class serves as a fragile refuge that crumbles under the pressure of Kwan's desperate need for connection. It's got this raw, unvarnished tone that really brings out the emotional turmoil she experiences. The performances are understated but hauntingly effective, capturing the essence of someone craving love in all the wrong places. What's intriguing is how it doesn’t shy away from the distortions of affection, making it a thought-provoking watch.
