Home Sweet Home movie review: Aaron Kwok in psychological mystery that awkwardly squanders its ingenious plot

  • Leste Chen’s film presents a similar premise to Korean movie Parasite – sadly, his web of mystery unravels almost as quickly as it materialises
  • Its clever plot is squandered by a script that keeps it secret for too long – and when revealed, doesn’t know what to do with it
