The Review

This movie features the quiet charm of 60s Hong Kong life, and it’s quite a lovely film.

A family’s idiosyncrasies is depicted in this fine story-telling.

Watching this will give you an insight of the old Hong Kong in-fact.

The underlying premise for this film is the bond and closeness of a family.

An entertaining coming-of-age movie that will bring back that sense of nostalgia.

The Good

• Touching film, you’ll be moved
• Excellent character development

The Bad

• Too much melodrama in a few scenes
