A story almost every child can relate to

Outside the box was truly an emotional rollercoaster. Any child of an immigrant family could understand the pressure, fear of disappointment and need to make their parents proud that Xing felt in the movie. The movie was relatable in ways other movies have lacked in the past, the producers had a real sense of what it was like to be a child of an immigrant and potrayed that strongly during the film. The music, production and acting was impeccable. The producers, actors and the crew did an incredible job. This movie deserves all the recognition it has gotten thus far and more to come. Looking forward to seeing these two at the Oscar's next.

Defying boundaries with grace and grit

In a powerful narrative that resonates deeply with immigrant experiences, this film tells the story of a single mother and her son, torn between tradition and ambition. The son's journey to follow his dreams, against the backdrop of his mother's fears and expectations, is depicted with remarkable sensitivity and insight. The film not only celebrates the pursuit of passion but also pays homage to the sacrifices of immigrant parents. It's a beautiful, eye-opening portrayal of the struggles and triumphs of forging one's path while honoring one's roots. This film is truly a well made piece that I would recommend to watch!
