Dreadfully Boring
... View MoreThe film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
... View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

... View MoreThis film tells the story of four high school friends, who navigate the high world of fashion together in their unique way."Tiny Times 1.0" has a big cast from both China and Taiwan, and clearly is aiming to be commercially successful. The story serves exactly that purpose, it's as commercial as can be. In fact, the film is so one dimensional and superficial. The characters are soulless, especially the boss of the fashion magazine, Mr Gong. The guy playing him is handsome, but it stool doesn't give him am excuse to be expressionless constantly, just like a cardboard cutout. The characters are very superficial, especially the powerful businesswoman. The scenes of her friends crowning her are almost unbelievable, eye rolling bad! The addition of an unattractive sidekick on the gang is a little surprising. She is quite annoying, and to be honest I'd rather her be as superficial as the other three girls, in order to get a bit of consistency.
... View MoreOne of the best films about the lives four upper middle class young women in the new Shanghai of our time.Beautiful cinematography. An honest look at the sex and city/gossip girl version of the most powerful/sexy city of China currently (soon to be most powerful city in the world), Shanghai. Shanghai is not NYC, it has more innocence, it's poorer, but also richer. Shanghai girls are more naive, yet more mature...The film may lack soul, or depth for some...but in a "girl's world", living in the "comestic" world of appearances has depth just so. In the moment of appearance has an exquisite feeling of it's own.This movie isn't for everyone, just like Twilight some may hate it, for many others will fall in love with this unpolitically correct, one dimensional aspirational lives of Shanghai girls.
... View MoreI really gave it a higher score than what i want but there is no zero in IMDb. I just registered my first account in IMDb to tell you that most of the Chinese are not such stupid to like these slides. (Sorry, i can't persuade myself that it's a movie).

... View MoreLooks like a Devil Wears Prada copycat movie. But no, it's filled with junk.Seriously, if you see this, you'll find, plot-wise, it's about nothing. Lines are cheap with no taste. Acting? Don't get me started with acting. All you are ever gonna see in it is pretty people, fancy places and luxury brands. If you think this movie bombed at the box office then you are terribly wrong. They made almost 80 million dollars out of this which is not bad at all in China. I'm afraid it's what the young Chinese like these days. And guess what, the sequel will be out in august right this year!
