'The Post-Truth World' (2023) Movie on Netflix

The Post-Truth World (Zui hou zhen xiang) is a thriller movies directed by If Chen starring Joseph Chang and Edward Chen. You can watch it on Netflix starting January 21.

Taiwan is the place where this dark thriller comes from that is a quality product that knows how to find its rhythm in a plot that is attractive, does not let you down and is well posed. This will not go down in history nor will have many fans as it was premiered on a Saturday, at a bad hour and rather unwillingly by the streaming channel.

Howeverr, it has an interesting treatment of the characters, its rhythm as a reflective and dark thriller with a halo of “adult film” which finally deals with more serious issues, and that nonetheless is relegated to a back space by products of lesser quality.

We are before an interesting movie that knows how to take its time in presenting the intrigue and delivering. Good technical work and filming than editing. This is not a special effects movie this World of Fake News is a dark thriller with nuanced contrasts and paused reflections.

A different kind of movie that, because of its script and scenes, is worth watching.
