 | I enjoyed this one tremendously. Beautifully written and shot, it tells the stories of a group of women and their Chinese-American daughters, specifically their struggles for independence and individualism.
The dialogue is elegant. There were moments when I was moved close to tears by it. On a personal aside, I have just begun to learn Mandarin (the dialogue is spoken in a mix of Mandarin, Cantonese, and English, with subtitles) and found it a delight to recognise words and phrases. I was, watching the film, much appreciative of the beauty of that language. |
