Chang'an (2023)
Chang'an is streaming in Singapore on Mewatch.
The verdict
Chang'an has pulled the kind of numbers most Chinese films never see. It holds a 7.6/10 on TMDB from 67 ratings, well above the typical run of new releases. At 168 minutes it's a long sit, so save it for when you've got the evening. In Singapore you can stream it on Mewatch.
Should you spend 2h 48m on it?
2h 48m of Chinese animation, leaning history. Past two and a half hours, it needs a proper evening rather than a weeknight.
Don't watch this if…
- you'd rather wait for a consensus. Only 67 ratings in so far
- you've only got a couple of hours. It needs 2h 48m
- Why
- It rates 7.6/10 on 67 ratings so far — a strong early showing.
- Skip if
- you don't have a clear three hours
- Best for
- A free weekend evening
