So this was an incredibly emotionally touching film. The whole point is to stir the viewers' emotions and empathy and I think they manage to do that.
I don't know what I was thinking, watching this. I was so brave and only cried once at the very end but truth is, given the fact that it's been over a decade since I lost my grandmother and I'm still not over it, I don't know why I thought I could handle a story like this.
However, this was very well made. The actress playing the grandmother is truly amazing and she just looks so cozy and grandma-coded too. Like, screw all those ungrateful jerks! How are they not obsessed with hanging out with her?!
Anyway, I have had the unfortunate chance to watch some low budget Thai dramas but this one is obviously of a whole other tier and I loved being introduced to the country through such a movie.
I personally enjoyed this movie. Worth the hype and then some! Obviously the plot was great; so was the acting, production and so on. I would just like to shout out the great set designs. It set the mood and felt so natural that it helped make you feel closer to the story and its characters.
Highly recommend. Prepare lots of tissues though.
