Movie Description
The Wild Goose Lake is a 2019 Chinese neo-noir crime thriller directed by Diao Yinan and starring Hu Ge, Gwei Lun-mei, Liao Fan, and Wan Qian. It garnered $31 million at the box office and was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2019 edition of Cannes Film Festival.
Glenn Kenny of the New York Times praises The Wild Goose Lake, writing that, "This movie doesn’t recycle film noir conventions so much as contrive — with a genuine sense of discovery" and applauds Diao's directing skill, stating "Diao can rev up the octane in chase and action sequences, but the movie almost always stays grounded in the physically plausible."
