My Heavenly City

Giving this an 7/10 rating

Chinese drama made up of three tales about Chinese immigrants living in New York, the stories interconnect at various points in the film.

Each part casts how life away from their homeland, friends and family affect the protagonists, loneliness and mental health are brought into play inside the vast city of New York. From the promo material at my cinema on this, it says this film is based on a book. It certainly does not feel like a novel, with writer and director Sen-I Yu get the best out of the lovely city through her lens and characters. It's a very beautiful film.

Actors Vivian Sung, Jessica Lee, I have seen before, as well as Mandy Wei. All the actors have much work for them and it pays off. The film is nothing radical, but it is very engaging and has a charm and grace too it, does take it's time, but it's worth it.
