Dear Tenant

Story is dramatic but it's not too over. A warm heart gay cares the senior and a kid but treated as a suspect of an incidence. Story is quite predictable and its quite heartwarming for his act. I focus on the acting of the actor more in this movie. Somehow acting cannot be taught and born to be have this talent. I got a feeling actor Mok is one of the kind.

Cheng Yu-Chieh composed some normative issues like same-sex partnership, parenting and multi-generational relationships into conclusively devastating Taiwanese family drama. Mok & little Bai's exquisite performances brought such pain and love in equal degree.

A slow pace movie that slowing guide u into their emotion without knowing. A warm touching movie move u to tears easily by their natural acting and lines. Now it's still giving me a great impact after 2 weeks watching this movie. Can see the two actor's speech from this show winning the golden horse award to show how should a great actor they are.

I came across this film by chance. "Dear Tenant" is beautiful and meaningful storytelling. It's a slow burn movie that unveil (quite) predictable story. What I like are in the early of the film that underline the legal matter of the gay couple, stellar performance from lead actor, and very good soundtrack (but honestly I don't fully understand the ending song). I think asian people will understand more of context and being relatable to Mr. Lin repression. However, I don't like some part of the storyline esp. The story that Mr Lin wrote to the boy.

Overall is good and recommended.

Ps. Camping scene location is so nice!

This is a small-budgeted Asian film; the kind that usually falls through the cracks of general acceptance by the movie-going public, when, in fact, it is better than at least 70% of the other films out there. It does not have name actors or special effects, it just has a simple story that is simply told. And that is what makes independent filmmaking so important. It tells stories that the formula Hollywood films do not tell. It has characters that are much more believable and heartfelt than superhero films or animation movies. It is a movie for everyday people who live in Asia (Taiwan), but it could be about any child in any country who is in this unfortunate condition. Kudos to the producer and director for providing us with a heartfelt tale such as this one.
