I did enjoy parts of the movie but it deff. won't be a cult classic as it lacks substance. The visual styles of the movie were good and the acting was ok, but the plot lines seemed to go no where,

5.1

An adaptation of Tao Lin's beloved cult novel "Taipei". As one relationship collapses, another blooms for Erin, swept into the world of Paul Chen, a mysterious, charismatic author. When he proposes documenting every aspect of their courtship in an epic laptop-filmed "documentary", the couple enter into a performative bad romance, fueled by substances and sleepless nights. High Resolution is another failed book adaptation that expect a pretty disappointing storyline it also has some pretty bland performers as well as the leading stars.

Before leaving this review I read some others- just to clear things up, this will NEVER EVER be a train spitting. Period. This movie goes absolutely nowhere. I know it's based on a book, but this movie so falls short. Yes the cinematography is very good, I will give it that. And the music during drug scenes and around Taipei was also done well. But I felt like all I did was watch a couple use drugs over and over and over with no...what's the word...enlightenment about anything they were doing? Sure she deleted their documentary footage in the end but I felt like there was no depth to the film, it was all just superficial. And the actors, well I feel like the lead girl didn't fit the part and I often had a hard time understanding her. If you feel like watching this movie on a free channel, go ahead but I wouldn't waste a dime paying to see it.
