The political fingerprints are very clear in this movie to the point of making it extremely raw and shallow. It's like trying to jump scare someone but not hiding very well before it; you either hide completely or show yourself in the beginning.

If it's meant to be romantic, I didn't find it to be. I just personally don't enjoy an amphibian-mute love story. I know it's trying to convey a message of the unheard oppressed, but this movie fails miserably.
