Movie review
From Time Out New York
The quietly rebellious Kim Liu (Bai) leaves her unwanted newborn with her mother and flees to Hong Kong. Twenty years later, a visit from Kim stirs up old sorrows and resentments, and the Lius are forced to air their dirty laundry in front of the whole neighborhood. The culture clash between immigrant parents and their American-born children is familiar territory, but New Jersey–born, Taiwan-raised director and co-writer Bay-Sa Pan gives the material her own spin and elicits strong performances from her appealing cast.Author: MM
