Synopsis: Personal Tailor is a company making dreams real for a given time. Some people decide to become indie artists, or local politician, rich woman, or just have a 18-years party. 
Review: Feng Xiaogang manages to build a picture of the Chinese society including new rich, pollution, corruption in a set of merciless short stories. The director of Aftershock masters the photography, colour and picture composition as usual for good Chinese director but this time also the directing of actors, who all play roles as a role. Maybe this helped. All the critics against the current society situation is direct and coming from the common people. This mitgh make it more acceptable for the Chinese population and political class. 
One weakness of the movie is in my opinion the fact of showing several pictures without a very thin common driver, as if it was finally a kind of collection of short movies. 
Rating: 6 /10
