Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The film yearns for harmony between the old and new, traditionalism and progressiveness, and by extension, echoes Taiwan’s identity, with roots in Chinese heritage and modern Western influence. Rated: 3/4 Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella Awards Daily The ensuing otherworldly silliness is a hilarious delight that some might find offensive since it isn’t careful or woke, but it is sweet and touching, albeit in a wildly, abrasively entertaining manner. Rated: B+ Dec 1, 2023 Full Review Brandon Judell Brandon Judell (Medium) What follows are fisticuffs, grumpy gangsters, grandmas insisting you come over for dinner, and a few shoot-outs that lead to quite a sweet, moving, satisfying finale proving that sometimes we all need a good dose of otherworldly romantic silliness. Sep 11, 2023 Full Review John Sooja Common Sense Media Gay men are often portrayed stereotypically, and many portrayals even repeat old and damaging alignments with depression, insanity, disease or illness, overt sexuality, and death. Rated: 2/5 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Sarah Musnicky But Why Tho? A Geek Community Despite its issues, Marry My Dead Body offers a hilariously heartwarming twist to a long-time tradition. Rated: 7.5 Aug 12, 2023 Full Review Chris Joyce Movies and Munchies (YouTube) When the focus is on the growth journey of Ming-han and the developing friendship between him and Mao, the movie is captivating and touching, using the character strengths of charisma and connection to showcase a wonderful relationship. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 12, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
