I never expected it was directed by Wenli jiang, a famous actress in china. And as her first movie, it was really impressive. The storyline is kind of average, and you may find it nothing to write home about at first sight. But if you view it from another perspective, you'll see the beauty of this movie.
firstly, the details should merit much attention. when I saw little girl Lan playing chinese jump rope, there was a warm feeling rising from the bottom of my heart. This game was so popular in China. Yet it was hardly found in any indigenous movies, you know whether or not a director put efforts into her work by these details.
The feeling in this movie is authentic. You wont find any forced take like you do in many blockbusters.
highly recommended.
