Nina Wu leaves her hometown and moves to Taipei in pursuit of her dream to be an actress.

Critics Consensus

Tough and timely, Nina Wu takes a fittingly -- and purposely -- upsetting look at the seedy underbelly of show business.

In its desire to avoid cliches, Nina Wu skips over the more complex fallout of sexual trauma.

This movie is just terrific. It's incredibly stylish and you feel off guard the entire time you're watching it.

4/5

The film manages never to strain credibility, mostly due to how well it establishes Nina’s sense of isolation while parceling out salient details.

Nina Wu isnt just a "MeToo" thriller or slow burn cinema, it's a progressive spin on psychological horror and a master class in visceral visual design.

3.5/5

An absorbing cinematic experience that gets creepier and infuriating as the details of the story emerge.

Nightmarish reprocessing of abuse and rape of an actress in the movie business. The story lingers between dreams, movies and reality, blurring the distinctions. A very disturbing but plain account of a long ignored structural problem of the dream industry.
