HAUNTING MELODY
A delightful little gem of a movie. Stunning scenery, lovely script and great cast. A little predictable but an enjoyable insight into rural China and Chinese family life.A few tears to be shed for sure.
Formulaic late 80ies French movie in a Chinese package
There is chemistry between the kid and her granpa, but the rest of the formula just falls apart – the French inter-generational family reunion dramedy only worked because there was and still is an inter-generational conflict in the French society between the pre- and post-soixantehuitard generation 1968, no such conflict really exists in China. Moreover the director just tries to be dramatic for drama’s sake which doesn’t work unsurprisingly.Great development of the relationship between the grandchild and the grandfather, but everything else is muddled, and the movie feels TOO LONG, despite being formatted as a standard 1980ies 90-minute TV movie.
