Story/Plot has good potential but all leads look almost identical


I think this movie's story is very interesting and has a good potential to be a good film to explore modern day China's sexual identity issues. Unfortunately, the four male leads (including the gay male couple, the detective and the young man who works for the underground factory boss) and the two female leads look too much alike. I am an Asian and through out most of the film, I often get confused and could not tell who is who, partly due to the poor indoor and night scenes lighting as other comments already pointed out. These actors/actresses all appear to have exact same height, same hair style, very similar facial structure (except Wang Ping, the married gay guy, who looks slightly different from the other three). As for the two female leads, I didn't know they are actually two different persons until at least half way through the movie. IMO, poor casting and make up ruin this interesting film's potential.
