Fan Xiang has flashes, but it wobbles

There is something pretty interesting about how Fan Xiang fits into The Old Way (2025). Some scenes click, some just sit there. I would not call it bad, just not as sharp as it could have been. I like the idea of the performance more than the full result. It is solid enough, but there are moments where it feels a bit on autopilot. I can see someone else being kinder to it, but I did not fully get there.
