The cinematography was beautiful to watch; if you like that sort of "fly on the wall" type style it could be enjoyable to look at.
Maybe I'm not smart enough or maybe it was the intention of the movie - but I was confused for a lot of it. Not really like a there's a plot hole type of feeling, but more like you just had a view midway into someone's life.
Not much is spoken in the movie, but the poetry like narration was food for thought. It felt like a poetry reading with this movie in the background.
Overall it wasn't bad, you can kinda look at this movie like a snippet in one's life.
The ending was not very satisfactory for me. I wish it could've just had a "clear" ending, but maybe that's the point.
You don't always get to be there to see the true ending to an individual's story.

Plot summary
Yang Fan lives in Yanjiao, which is separated from Beijing by the White River, during the quarantine. Her routine is pretty simple, cooking, cleaning and trying to abide by the rules. Her husband on the other hand, seems to be entangled in a voyeuristic/masturbatory web, where a classic painting of a woman hanging on the wall of her bedroom plays a crucial role. The two of them have sex, but things become more complicated when Yang Fan also starts sleeping with the enigmatic waiter of a restaurant she frequents, who has the tendency to pee under a tree every night after he closes shop. Instead of fighting, the three embark on a threesome trip that soon starts involving other people.
