5/5
A slight yet profound exploration of generational choices and our fear of living our parents' lives. Go to Full Review Michael Atkinson Time Out 04/30/2013
4/5
Sweet and fiercely humane, Song's layered family portrait is decidedly Buddhist: silent when it needs to be and steadfast about approaching inevitable tragedy with care and patience. Go to Full Review Chris Cabin Slant Magazine 10/04/2012

02/21/2013 I repeatedly came back to the thought that this would be an excellent movie for students learning Mandarin to watch. The actors speak clearly and at a reasonable rate discussing many everyday things. The movie is not quite as mundane as that may make it sound; but it's close. I'll recommend it to my daughter, though, when she reaches her third year or so studying Mandarin. See more Read all reviews
