    The story is a bit conflicting itself, e.g. characters of Ace (a man who selfishly left the family but portrayed to be quite reasonable man) and Susan (who Anthony detests utmost seems to be just a weak old lady).

    I felt that there were many beautiful moments in this movie, which were very emotional and impactful. Ultimately, it's a sad story. The play on many people's misfortunes and poor decisions made me ask if this story was believable. A man who made Terrible choices, even though given a terrible hand of cards, but also equally given lots of options, and the women around him who have to accommodate their bad choices and the choices of this one man- was this a true story? Then maybe I would believe the events that took place otherwise leaned heavily into the dramatics of this type of story.

    This was an amazing movie and unique take that pulls on heartstrings. The juxtaposition of cultures hits home. Justin and all the actors did an incredible job in their performance. The dramatic scenes and artistic direction made the story heartfelt, compelling, and bring attention the effects of our policies.

    One of the most beautiful powerful films of this generation. From start to finish the cinematography, acting and storyline is bold, creative and moving. One of my most favourite films in a long time.

    Though the movie style is one that I’m not typically used too, I really enjoyed this movie. It’s a tear jerker not only because of the movie but also because the issues they face are issues that people face in America right now. Well worth the watch.

    Dramatic, touching movie about a mistreated Asian adoptee. Top notch acting and very moving movie. Cried my eyes out!

    This movie is so necessary. The United States government needs to stop the deportations now. Unfair, unfeeling and compassionless. The movie brilliantly conveys this necessity.

    This drama opened my eyes to a terrible truth: despite being adopted, 50K Americans face deportation. The plot isn't perfect, but the cinematography is beautiful and the acting very well done.
