Meng Xiu has good moments, though not fully even

Meng Xiu's contribution as Ning Yujuan gives Ancient City Community Police (2018) a more specific texture. Several choices feel too broad for what the scene seems to require. I wanted more specificity, especially in the emotional transitions. The performance is functional, but it does not leave much after the scene ends. The work never fully settles into the rhythm of the movie. That overall aftertaste is what stayed with me after the credits.
