How to evaluate The Witch of the South directed by Zhang Ji 'an?

The film discusses two "boundaries", one is the geographical "boundary" and the other is the psychological "witch world". As can be seen from the map, Kedah is located in the northernmost part of Malaysia, adjacent to Thailand. It was once an independent Sultanate ruled by Siam and later became a state of Malaysia.

A Chang, the male owner, had a car accident in his back neighbor's house because of a conflict with his neighbor. Aunt Kaew, the neighbor's daughter-in-law, blamed Achang, so she bowed to Achang, causing Achang to lose her labor force and spit nails. A Chang's wife, A Yan, didn't believe in these ghosts and gods at first, but after trying all kinds of treatments failed, she had to turn to mountain gods and wizards for help.

Nan Wu participated in several film festivals, including Hainan Island International Film Festival, and won three awards at Golden Horse Film Festival, the Golden Horse Award for Best New Director and Best Original Screenplay, the Firebird Film Award for the 45th Hong Kong International Film Festival and the Fabisz Award for International Film Critics.

This film can be said to be a well-completed feature film debut, but it is not so embarrassing. Audiences who haven't seen it yet must not expect to see it by these awards and praises.
