The CinePearl Take
Khoo’s direction is deliberately measured, letting each ghost‑laden vignette breathe before moving on, which creates a hypnotic rhythm that mirrors the ebb of incense smoke. The standout performance comes from newcomer Jia Li as Mei, a street vendor who becomes a conduit between the mortal world and the spirits, delivering a quietly powerful portrayal of grief and curiosity. The film’s central theme—how memory anchors the living to the unseen—resonates long after the final frame, even if the pacing occasionally lingers in the mist.
