7/10
An account of warm, tender final journey
18 August 2012
Warning: Spoilers
A very pleasant film, with droll humour, takes us through a final journey of Al Tao. She has been a servant in a household in Hongkong, serving three generations. As she suffers from stroke, she asks her employer, who has been a successful film producer, to retire her to a nursing home. This film explores human relationships from many angels. Gives a warm and positive massages. In a different forum I would go through each character and analyse interactions. Beauty of this film is in the simple way narrated various interpersonal interactions. Deannie Yip has given award winning performance, and I understand that she has one many awards for the role of Al Tao. Some of subtitles are difficult to read because of white subtitles in white background.
