American girl

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.

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 loved the film scenery and background of this story, I felt deeply connected with the characters and understanded the emotions they were going through in each scene.

"Unlike THE FALLS's glossy patina and beneficent ideation, AMERICAN GIRL goes for the jugular in dissecting a nuclear family's internecine strife and support, with a sideswipe leveling at Taiwan education system's approbation of the outmoded corporal punishment. Fen's "American girl" tag is more a source of discrimination than something she can boast of, one of the examples evince Roan's crystal-clear discernment of Fen's predicament. Dexterously shot by Giorgos Valsamis within finite space, AMERICAN GIRL's cinematography reflects an alluring veracity on top of a rich textural substrate, it helps to ease its audience into the the family's early 2000 milieu like a charm. Tellingly, one cannot over-stress the accomplishment of the cast, especially Lam and Fan, grappling with the heavy-lifting with cracking efficacy and potency, Lam's pent-up emotion crackles consistently from scene to scene whereas Fan pulls off the cardinal challenge where a misty-eyed Fen communing with an intractable white horse like a real pro."

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.
