Audience Member Last years "Outstanding Taiwanese Film of the Year", and it's pretty amazing... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member A little boy, cast adrift, in the adult world. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 第å>>å 1/4µç«...é,ä¸?é¯çå?°ç?£é>»å 1/2±~ Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member The storyline is nothing new, an orphan needed to figure out his living with a loveless mother and a hateful stepfather, but Chung has made it into a beautiful drama with lots of color schemes and reminiscenes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This latest masterpiece is directed by one of the newest most celebrated filmmakers to emerge from Taiwan. It's a simple story with sincerely deep meanings. Completely unsentimental with tender and heartbreaking moments. It's clearly an homage to The 400 Blows and I dare say it's worthy of being compared to Truffaut's masterwork. The lead performance from the child is pitch-perfect. Easily one of my favorites from 2010. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member an engaging watch and a touching drama though it did reek of slight affectation . well-crafted characters, all generally likable 'cept for stepdad leon dai. but then his was supposed to be the dark character. there were two pieces of music during the film that really tugged at the heartstrings.
