Hidden Gem
This film is a rare gem hidden in a sea of mediocre family drama. Especially since it's coming from HK cinema that many Cinephiles and general people overlooked. The plot is such an emotional rollercoster. Yet everything feels natural with no overexageration. The lighting feels dim not shiny and colorful. It suited very well with the theme and its story. Main cast, the couple, especially the wife's acting is very natural and we can see many subtle expressions and emotions with no over explanation. The plot and Sammi Cheng acting is a star of this film. I cried watching this movie and eventhough it's very hard for me to cry over a mere movie.
Anything less than 9 stars isn't valid for this magnificent film.
