    Sentimental but ultimately too slow paced and dull to be worthy of a higher rating. Comparisons between East and West and philosophies of life are laid on a bit too thick but still in an Art-house manner. Never got into it and detested the pretentious finish. Watched on Film4.

    Lulu Wang never over-explains the themes or specific cultural references, which allows the movie to wash over you. The ending is greatly moving in its simplicity.

    My brother saw this alone in the theater and told me I had to watch it. I didn't get the chance until it started streaming. He was right--it's an incridible examination of how two cultures approach the same issue, both coming from a place of love. It is a moving film that may surprise you and will definitely make you think.

    An interesting film to win a golden globe for best actress. A good look into Chinese culture that was worthy of my time. Awkwafina is really good and it is her best performance but the grandma is definitely the steal of the film as she has both the comedic talent and the acting to keep it going. Overall pretty good film but I would rather watch films with plots rather than watching films in culture as I have seen too many at the moment. Grade: A

    a touching film that navigates the complexities of family dynamics, cultural differences, and the challenge of coming to terms with a loved one's terminal illness
