Lights Out Chinatown (2020)

Disney movies have taken a bit of a downward turn recently. How come?

For a young girl who wishes to keep her current traditions, this holiday will end up with a surprise twist.

As noted in the headline, I didn’t like this movie. Not to say it’s the worst thing ever, but it’s just…meh. Nothing much to it. Very generic. No surprises. At the very least, the cast is diverse so I’ll give it that.

It doesn’t offer an absolute answer for the dialectical ethical questions that emerged in search of justice but portrays the characters as living people beyond the identities of victims.

Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.
