735928, I really enjoyed it Posted by Damali, Sun Sep-08-19 05:10 PM
generally, I enjoy films that exist in a real universe that's outside my perspective...in this case, Chinese/Eastern culture...and the film itself was beautifully done
I was mildly intrigued by the trailer i saw some months back but wasn't pressed
then I listened to the This American Life story about Nai Nai and I was like, ok I must see this movie
I smiled at the cleverness of "Based on an Actual Lie" vs "based on a true story"
the woman that played Nai Nai , Shuzhen Zhao, was a BEAST...just an acting master class all around...to me, she stole every scene she was in...i really really enjoyed her and she made me wish i had a woman like that in my life...
loved the conflict of east vs west...just a great film all around
