Very true. Even when affairs are completely in order, the paperwork here is daunting. 😵Most people with substantial funds are the first to make sure their money is protected. That's why I thought it seemed out of character for two businesswomen to put their heads in the sand with their own financial affairs.
Funerals bring out all sorts of old wounds and slights, which only complicate monetary matters. People's memories and loyalties are subject to change when money is involved, regardless of the amount. For Angie, in this film, it was the complete emotional betrayal of a family she'd considered and treated like her own that hurt her the most. Though receiving a small stipend from what amounted to her own money they controlled for their own use must have been a bitter pill to swallow.
Hmmm.... seems to be a bit of a plot hole. While HK doesn't allow same sex marriage, many spousal rights including…
They actually brought that up. There were a number of things they could have done to protect themselves better. Some people have a hard time admitting they are going to die one day and don’t prepare for their loved ones if they are the first to go. It turned out her partner had started a will but it hadn’t been signed yet. I think Pat and Angie over trusted the “loving” family to do the right thing and follow their wishes regardless of legalities. Unfortunately, their wishes were ignored because there was money and property involved.
Sadly, I’ve seen terrible behavior in my own family when people have died, even without the homophobia, and this film certainly triggered me.
I had this on my watch list but... I really don't like Sandrine Pinna. Good review.
She gave a rather one note performance. In this drama it actually worked in her favor because everyone else chewed the scenery. 😄
It was watchable even compelling for the most part. On another day I would have given it an 8. As it marched toward the finish line I thought it stumbled. The entire drama was composed of damaged people who made highly questionable choices. They were all one more hit away from burning down an orphanage. 🔥
It is also on Prime in my region with a Film Movement trial/subscription though at least in early scenes, the Mandarin was not subtitled in English. :/ I switched over to Tubi and dealt with the numerous commercials because at least they had proper subtitling.
I’m sure part of the problem was me. I don’t tend to enjoy movies of people talking for two hours without…
It was implied that the older brother slept with her in Japan but then it turned out he was impotent and couldn’t perform. The second brother chickened out at the last second. All of which made her seem fickle and easy. She finally put together that it was the younger brother who always stood by her, too late of course.
Love Ni Ni but this sounds like something I am going to skip.
I’m sure part of the problem was me. I don’t tend to enjoy movies of people talking for two hours without making much progress. And it didn’t help that I found the older brother annoying. Ni Ni’s character too often seemed to be defined by the men around her which was not interesting.
I like to play with 🔥😂It has nothing to do with the actor but with the writers. Of all the wild convoluted…
I’ve seen enough drama comments to know that too many buy into the dangerous lure of the abusive, possessive alpha male. My mama told me you can’t trust a guy just because he looks good in a pair of jeans. And boy was she right!

But Ni Ni’s song is muted, likely for royalties issues.
