What it’s about. This dramatic movie is about three women in Japanese-occupied Shanghai, 1941, and one could call it very woman-centric (which isn't a bad thing). They "breathe the same air", but are in different walks of life: Jinzhu is a factory worker. She gets raped by Japanese soldiers in the very first seconds of the film, and much of the rest deals with the social consequences this has for her.
Who’s in it. Three Girls stars Shangguan Yunzhu as Jinmei, Sha Li as Ruoying, Zongying Huang as Xinqun and Zhao Dan as Zhang Yuliang, among others.
How it landed. With an audience score of 5.7/10, Three Girls has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
