M: Do you ever feel lonely?Amah: I wouldn’t call it loneliness
It’s part of life.Amah: I have a problem with the day after Chinese New Year. When all the leftovers from the night before are in the fridge and I know I have to eat them all alone.
It’s been a while since I cried while watching a film
It shows the nuances of family relationships and mortality that I could relate to surprisingly well. The development of M’s relationship with his grandmother was beautifully crafted.
I enjoyed the quiet moments, the moments when they laughed together and grew closer
I really enjoyed the acting and the cinematography, as well as the background music that accompanied the scenes. The story was written in a way that conveyed the importance of loving and caring for one’s parents and relatives without being pretentious.
