Speechless

I enjoyed this movie. It is slow moving with depth of characters, and not so confusing from beginning to end once one gets to the end. Sad, yes, but understanding of the culture in Asia and when Europeans go there. But, I come from the perspective of a European who has lived for half a year in China and visits from now and then. Some of the other reviews have some remarkably uninformed comments. Like, one saying it is implausible that a French guy speaks English. Sorry, that would be perfectly normal in China, as it would be rare for Chinese to speak French, but less rare to speak English. Overall, not a large budget movie but one that gets into some meaningful depths of understanding and showing different aspects of life in a Mandarin speaking region via the mechanisms of a mystery.
