Although "Behind the Curtain Player" is a suspense film, but hidden in the film under the suspense coat of the emotional core is about the discussion of money and love, on the weight of the two, aside from the suspense coat, this is an exclusive customized film for couples
[22]
. The atmosphere created by the film's art and photography and the texture of the picture are bright, the soundtrack is also simple and atmospheric, especially the performance of several leading actors are online as a whole; However, the director's lack of control of the complex narrative, the lack of deep exploration of the characters, and the logical holes in some places, the film can only be a good suspense, high opening and low, and the second half is far worse than the first half
