    Breaking Out is Hard to Do

    A study in the seemingly rank unfairness of Chinese culture toward women, this is an excellent film. Our heroine has a particularly raw deal, matched (or more correctly, purchase by) to a cruel, but well off husband. His only interest is to have a son, but Xinghua does not become pregnant, bringing great hardship on herself. I liked the movie, although it was a little long and some of the characters could have been developed more, like Nizi, the husband's sister. If you accept the movie as a real depiction of life in rural China, it is a wonderful, but depressing view of the Chinese twist to life's complications. Try it. You'll like it.

    Picturesque but maudlin.

    The picture of rural life in Northwestern China makes this movie. The plot line, with the evil husband and the victim wife with a heart of gold is pretty maudlin. The English in the subtitles is stilted - would anyone voluntarily write English like that in a screen play?

    Bittersweet

    I found this film to be a bit too depressing. I don't mind dramas, but this was a bit too much for me. Luckily, there does seem to be somewhat a decent outcome. I suppose it was well done. I'd watch it again, but it's nothing to rave about.
