Let me start off by saying this the acting were all superb from the mother to the daughter give a wonderful performances in this psychology drama and tension set during the current pandemic situation.
After watching it the psychological damage from the mother happens after the divorce from her husbands Ho is having an affair long before the divorce.
I'm touched and moved by the daughter Xiao Jing who stepped up and handles her mother's affair.
But the movie is too slow to begin with and the length is too long to be Frank the first half of the movie really bored me to sleep
Once the movie enters second act things started to go smoother and faster.. I'm not sure this movie deserves a best picture for Golden Horse because I haven't seen the other nominated movies
All I can say is the acting the portrayal was great the message clearly convey
A good Taiwanese movie indeed but definitely a slow burn.

The aftermath of Covid
Amazing
This movie manages to portray what it means to stop your life for taking care of someone else.
The love you have towards another person can make you change your whole life, this movie portrays it perfectly. The characters are very human, portraying their pain, their desperation and their concern for each other, the story has a very good development that fully explains each situation and the change that is suffered in the face of them. The film shows how life goes on despite your problems and that you must face them and resist in order to get ahead. The performances are phenomenal, they portray every feeling and emotion that the characters have, the character development is good, but the character of the daughter is never fully explained what she feels in the face of the adversities she goes through with her mother, the photography is good and the direction reflects in a human way how we face adversity despite the moments that the world is going through. I think there was a lack of developing the other characters and how the mother felt when she began to return to her normal life.
But it is a very good film, with which I felt identified and that reveals the human side of facing adversity despite the fact that the road to move forward is difficult.
Beautiful little movie set in the current Covid situation.
Mother and daughter relations tested in this stressful difficult times. The divorced father adds a further mix into this whirlpool. The teenage daughter was difficult at first but matures and grows up quickly when her mother fell ill from psychosis.
This is your movie if you're into emotional, family mix and tugging of heartstrings. Check it out if you make it to the last act, you'll feel a pleasant glow in your heart.
