Writers: Ang Lee, James Schamus, Wang Jui-Ling
Cast: Sihung Ling, Yu-Wen Wang, Chien-lien Wu
A senior chef lives with his three grown daughters; the middle one finds her future plans affected by unexpected events and the life changes of the other household members.
The film felt like the feel good Malayalam family films of the 90s. Ang Lee could have taken intelligence of the audience for granted and made the film much more subtle. As it stands it looks a bit cliched. I saw it being compared to Edward Yang's 'Yi Yi' http://pulpfictionfilms.blogspot.in/2011/07/yi-yi-2000.html. Yang's effort is a far superior work and a must watch.
Rating: 2.5/5
