American girl

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.

"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."

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.

American Girl with Seven Nominations at the Golden Horse Awards In fact, there is not much innovation in the structure of the story.

It also happens to be almost the time when I want to go out of society.

The time point of experiencing a SARS Said to be some nostalgic props scenes and music (such as Jay Chou's music) I personally think it's still too little resonant Also because of the current living environment It still exists to this day Honestly Jay Chou's old songs The song was really annoying to hear in Taiwan back then Now in China, every capital is a classic song Songs or covers can be heard everywhere But in fact, at that time we I've heard it for a long time without feeling (even forgot the names of many songs)

Although the starting point is the perception of a big girl Meet friends from studying in the United States I have to go back to Taiwan to start a new life In fact, even my friends are like this Most are unwilling And the Chinese in the past were able to have friends Or finally can be integrated into some groups I really don't want to start over again (friends also mentioned their feelings back then) Most are still marginalized in the United States And when you come back to Taiwan, you will be punished by Taiwanese people.

The elders who passed away when I was a child It's also a blank past and started to do it with nothing.

There are not many surprises in the acting of the little girl in the play Or rely on Lin Jiaxin's acting tension to string other people's performances The plot part is actually a problem that everyone will encounter The relationship between husband and wife gets along to maintain the whole family How to deal with the relationship with the child I also chose the time when the child just entered the rebellious period How do children view this home?

Express your ideas in a way that contradicts your parents The ending is a little too fast There is no space for people to extend their imagination.

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.
