User Reviews

Everything a drama should be

I don't have much to say about this movie in terms of plot or details - mainly just wanted to provide some positive comments to balance out the only other review here, which is so negative.

If you don't appreciate cultures outside your own, if you don't have any experience with them, if you require constant music to manipulate your emotions, or if you don't enjoy movies which just "are," which avoid cliché or outlandish plots and which don't try and force themselves upon you, then don't bother with this movie.

On the other hand, if you find something special and a personal connection in quiet looks at realistic life, including truly cross-cultural marriage (not just cross-racial) and the experiences children have in the midst of such situations, then I really think you'll enjoy this film.
