Lulu Wang’s ‘Expats’ inspired by Janice Y.K. Lee's novel ‘The Expatriates,’ narrated across two timelines, is about the unraveling lives of three women and intimately explores feelings of isolation, grief, and regret, with loss and infidelity complicating matters further. It’s a lavish production set in Hong Kong but fails to bring home the true nature of the city. The book is not followed faithfully either. The story has enough intrigue and tension-inducing twists but the execution is pretty much sloppy. The build-up is also too slow to lure you in. The performances do not help garner interest either.
