“u0026quot; Chiwawa Chan u0026quot; tried to be something extraordinary but it failed to do so.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy main problem was with the way that this movie was filmed. The idea of adding colour and lights was interesting, but it didnu0026#39;t pull through as it actually made it look like a very long music video. Plus, there were some music and dancing breaks that were too long to fit the movie. The camera work was mostly like a badly, low badget movie, or, rather, a home movie with badly lighting and close ups that didnu0026#39;t make sense. The editing was horrible too.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd now, there is the story. The main idea was interesting, but the way it was presented, you donu0026#39;t really get to see Chiwawa and her story, as it gets lost between bits of actual plot and fancy cinematography. Also, the story wasnu0026#39;t that good after all, as they left out what happened to her and they focused more on showing her crazy life, packed with over the top party, clubbing, sex, drinking and dancing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt least the performances were good from everyone in the cast.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo, overall, two out of ten.”
