I like the bit where he smells the grass. Special meaning I think

I think if you saw this movie on a plane, it would be far more emotional, but I saw it in my lounge. Anyway, Looking Up is ambitious but also has some repetitious and lagging parts. Still, its heart is in the right place for sure. The usual plot devices are there, with the inspiring ending that will restore your faith in home-school education combined with state schooling.

If Americans remade this movie, I'd imagine Will Ferrell would play the father.

We really enjoyed the movie. It is touching, and exciting. I have never felt that I'm bored during the movie. There was always some emotions or excitement. It does not feel like classic space movies, this one has very good emotional connection. I believe this movie deserves at least a solid 7. If you are interested in this type, it might be higher than 7/10.

The movie is extremely relatable for Chinese, both raised in the Western world and those raised in Asia. I highly highly recommend it.

Expectations of parents, role of father figure, what it means to grow up and pursue our own dreams... this movie is easily the best movie of 2019. Throughout the film, the director inspires, relates, and motivates the audience to become better a better Chinese, and shows the work in China towards making Chinese peolp

The movie confuses me. It is alternating between reality and fairy tale throughout, without convincing me with either. I agree with the other reviewers, the father character, with all good intentions both from the film maker and in the story, is not real, at all, almost felt as if he had multiple personality. He promised things clearly impossible, which was the tale; while his story with the jail and all, was reality. I am not saying this cannot work, but the film did not pull it off. The son character was rather bland, yet making strange moves that did not fit the character. The story is weak with non-impressive acting.
