Filial sacrifice transcends into a moving meditation on parental redemption. Not as good as Chen Kaige's Together (2002), drawn-out scenes kinda hurt the momentum to some extent.

honestly surprised how quickly the prison warden accepted the request to film in the prison considering the hubbub earlier in the movie

Charming little movie. Zhang Yimou returns to a more simple movie with a look similar to Not one less. Obviously it still looks good, just not as colorful.

The story is simple, but effective and compelling. It feels a bit long a points and is far from some of the best Zhang Yimou has made, but non the less a neat little movie made between some of his biggest movies
