Powerful acting with a lot of missing details!
Another great movie that should be at least 2.5 hours, but for some reason they cut a lot. It was kinda hard for me to feel the character because they didn't really show much about his relationship with the other guy. There's a good scene between them on YouTube which is cut from the movie I don't know why! I think they wanted the movie to focus on the kid. but this Could've been so much better if they showed all the details in the story. But overall powerful movie, amazing acting. they deserved all the awards they got.Was this review helpful to you?

So very sad but also so very touching, beautiful and even kind of sweet.
This movie is really powerful, to be honest it is a bit grey and slightly depressing in the cinematography and did start off a bit slow, but the pace picks up as the story uniwines it will keep you on your toes and have you feel a whole range of emotions from anger to being touched, to wanting to fight some one and just utter despair... but you will also feel allot of love and want to just give the kid and his dad a big hug.The characters in the movie are really well written and well played, the acting is spot on conveying emotions with both dialog and mimics as well as grey and depressing coloring, alongside some beautiful scenery. However the OST is barely present but the few music bits that are included may not be masterpieces but are extremely well fitted. To be completely honest the entertainment value is not very high but the depth, the issues and the story make up for it, life is not always about being entertained.
This movie deals with very deep and hard to handle issues, and has a bunch of potential triggers as well as some sexual content and though it did not make me cry I was pretty damn close to tears so do have some tissues or a good sleeve ready when you watch this.
All in all definitely a movie worth watching when you feel like seeing something sad...

Tissues for the Issues
Well if you're in the mood to cry and suffer emotional distress for 2 hours, LOOK NO FURTHER! I did well; I must say, I didn't cry as bad as I thought I would lmaoFor starters I gotta warn that this movie is not for the faint heart. From personal experience as someone who got taken away from my family (even for just a short time) I'm fully aware of the trauma it causes at such a young age. You don't know who to trust, you begin to question why you trusted at all and everyone around you is using you as a pawn. As a child it's not so easy to comprehend. This movie is beautifully done and has all the emotions. Rage, Happiness, Fear etc. If you ever feel like you have bad luck, think again!
The ending had me feeling some type of way. It wasn't a bad ending... but wasn't a good ending either. Kind of an open ending but I'm personally dissatisfied. I'm NEVER in the mood to cry but something told me to watch this and I'm glad I did.
Enjoy...

Prepare Yourself
This movie was a lot to take in. Honestly going through the whole thing was painful because of how much emotion it was able to evoke. It was such a good movie and I don't regret watching it, but be prepared going in to deal with a lot of conflicting emotions and to walk away from watching it feeling the same way. It's an incredible watch that reflects some of the harsh realities of life as well as the impossible choices or situations people encounter,. The ending is very open ended, the way issues in real life often are, with the situation left in a messy and somewhat unresolved and conflicting state while also leaving some room for hope. Overall, great movie, but you have to be prepared to watch something that will make you mad, sad and frustrated all at once.Was this review helpful to you?
An absolutely outstanding performance by 39-year-old Taiwanese actor Mo Tzu-Yi (Morning Mo) in the lead role and other high-level acting. Such a deep film about a struggling gay character deserves a translation, which was translated by M.anon at my suggestion now in mid-March 2021. Those Taiwanese don't seem ....
Vůbec se nedivím, že film a herci postav Lina a babičky získali filmová ocenění. Silný příběh osudem zkoušeného homosexuála Lina, který ztratil přítele, stará se o přítelovu matku a přítelova syna, kterého měl z předchozího vztahu se ženou. Vše se komplikuje smrtí babičky ...
Naprosto vynikající výkon 39ti letého taiwanského herce Mo Tzu-Yi (Morning Mo) v hlavní roli a i další herecké výkony na vysoké úrovni. Tak hluboký film o jedné zkoušené gay postavě si zaslouží překlad, který na můj podnět přeložila M.anon teď v polovině března 2021. Ti Taiwanci se nezdají ....

A Beautiful Piece of Creation
I just made myself cry ugly by watching this beautiful piece of creation. Dealing with one's life and dedicating one's life for others is totally different. the pain, sufferings you go through will come to end , whether its a happy ending or not . this movie made me feel so many emotions at once . everyone played their role perfectly and you know its the real deal when it aches in your heart . all of them deserved happiness but in reality , its a mixed blessings . i would love to rewatch it and make my self suffer all over again,Was this review helpful to you?
Ang Angas Pre
HUWAG MANGHUHUSGA BASTA BASTA. tip ko lang kung papanoorin mo ito, lahat ng aksyong ginagawa natin ay may kwento. Makinig muna bago ka manghusga sa isang tao. ika nga nila "maraming namamatay sa maling akala" mahahalintulad ko ito rito sa mga drama natin sa Pilipinas dahil kustodiya ng anak ang pinag uusapan dito. Pero as usual mas may kalidad naman ito kaysa rito. Ano kanyo? MAY EMOSYON. Ramdam na ramdam mo ang mga bawat karakter sa istoryang ito. Yun lang naman basta maganda to, recommended para sa lahat.Was this review helpful to you?
