Mei guo nu hai

This is a family drama that is realistic and relatable, at least for me. I resonated deeply with a lot of the main character's experiences - from the deep love-hate mother-daughter relationship and the bond between the sisters, to Fen Liang's stubbornness and intense emotionality. Watched it with my mum and she could "totally understand the feelings of the mother".

A couple of reviewers have noted that the film is quite slow but I feel like the pace, camera angles and scenery make it feel as if the audience is only spectating the real lives of the family, instead of being served some hyper saturated plot-driven story. I respect that it might not be everyone's cup of tea though. All in all, I thought it was a cinematic and greatly truthful film.

When a father and mother got that look and find someone cast their daughter with totally different look, whole thing become less convincing to me. Story is not bad with all the drastic change for a teenage who move back to Taiwan, just find someone more alike and less mean look would make audience to buy more this movie.

Very ordinary story that everyone would experience, yet no resonance would be generated with audiences due to the extreme annoying performances of the actress. Acting as a mom, the actress was being unrealistically emotional that would make audience wonder if she is acting an psychotic patient as well.

Simple and common plot + slow pace story telling style by director + insensible performance by actress = surely not worth your time.

This film is exactly what it's like. Most accurate depiction of mother daughter relationship i've seen on film thus far. Extremely well written, draws you in. I cried many times. It's just so well done it's so moving PLEASE WATCH.

I just so loved the plot and narration.

Each of the characters did justice to their roles and it all just came out to perfection.

A perfect blend of emotions, family bond, sibling love, social and surrounding situations and a lot more.
