Interesting in parts for the insights into Chinese culture and values. This isn't as enjoyable or touching as Joy Luck Club. It won't make you laugh and cry much. This isn't a pretty movie with attractive parts of China and an attractive glam cast. Rather it shows the not terribly attractive industrial town of Changchun. and real looking people and apartments. There are some interesting insights into the Chinese immigrant experience and the East vs West culture differences especially the way the family deals with the illness of their matriarch.
Awakfina of Crazy Rich Asians looks very different with a morose expression. Her acting is suitably sad. Grandma acts feisty and well.
There is a message about attitude and surviving an illness.
Worth a watch but not very enjoyable.
