You never quite know with Chinese drama. Sometimes it's stylish and stylized, at other times it ends up being more toned down and grounded. Stonewalling falls a little in between both worlds and while there are some nice scenes, it's also a little too dry for my taste, especially at 2.5 hours long.

Fans of Jia will probably like the film, though it isn't quite as drenched in drama. The characters and settings are also a bit more contemporary and urban, and the cinematography is a little more polished, but there's still a strong dramatic and narrative base here. An okay film, but too long and a little too forgettable to stand out.
