This is one of the most powerful films I have ever seen. It is a beautiful portrayal of the complex relationships between generations of mothers and daughters, exploring the different social codings of being raised in China versus America. I wish I could tell you how much this film has meant to me, or put into words how heartbreaking and simultaneously uplifting it is. I stumbled upon it by accident one day on TV and got completely engrossed, ultimately sobbing so hard I had to turn the volume as far up as it would go so I could hear it over the sounds of my gutteral cries. It was the most incredible release. If you have a soul, there will be something in this that moves you. A must-see.
