Movie ReviewsCultural Misplacement and the film of Ann Hui Laurentian University c/o Hoi Cheu | Sudbury, Ontario Canada | 06/21/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "From the director of Boat People and Song of Exile (who just won the Hong Kong Academy Award in 2000), this film definitely shows the serious (but interesting) side of Hong Kong's independent filmmaking. The film examines the cultural differences between East and West by focusing on a grandfather who looks after his 12-yr-old American Grandson. Very insightful and humorously done! Ann Hui herself, a director who separated from her family in mainland China and struggled to establish her career in Hong Kong, understands cultural differences. I would not say that this film is Ann Hui's best, but her better ones are not yet availiable in North America."
