We liked the movie. It is slow and super draggy. Nice portrayal of adoption overall. Bit lacking in communication between the adoptive parents and their son. Showed him not connecting as Indian or familiar with cultural things like language or food. Also showed him hiding himself and his search from his Mom. Good talking points for us. I felt that most issues of trauma were downplayed. Some things were touched on so briefly. I would have rather seen more of the human connections and less of the filth and poverty in the filming. Lili cried when he found his birth mom. She didn't equate his story with her story. Fei wasn't bothered by anything in the movie. I didn't find a need to cry. There you have it. Our review.
