This is the kind of movie where you know beat-for-beat what to expect, just looking at the poster and title.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, and the movie does deliver our expectations in a nice and comfortable way.
The performances are good, the sets look great, and the movie delivers the beats you already saw coming in the right way.

9/10 movie that manages to make us feel incomprehensible tragedy.
Often with extremely sad subject matter, it can feel like the story draped around it lacks in substance. This movie is the exact opposite: it tells several beautifully trafic stories around a single family of many, and shows how losing an arm can be knsignic compared to the psychological damage this eaerhquake did.
The 1976 earthquake in Tangshan was the world's deadliest earthquake since the 1500's (which was also in China) with a death toll of 300,000. This film shows a fragment of the destruction that followed, and accompanied families through the ages.
After the earthquake forces people into impossible decisions where they have to trade the lives of one family member for the other, the aftermath leaves deep scars and shredded lives.
This is a fantastic Chinese movie that brings a forgotten tragedy to light in the best way, and thaws the coldest of hearts.
