Wei-Lai

Just saw this at the Charlotte Film Festival. Brilliant immigrant story from the point of view of a first generation child. Deftly handles sensitive and challenging racial dynamics while confronting the realities of generational disconnect. This is a film that is so specific, and in its specificity finds a connection to our shared humanity. Funny, emotional and so real. This film exists at such an impressively high level of sophistication that it doesn't feel like a student film, but feels in an every way a complete story. Beautiful in every way. Among the best student films I have ever seen. See it in the big screen if you can.
