A gentle, thoughtful film. Interestingly quirky characters, although, like the Joy Luck Club or the Soong Sisters or Wing Chun (grin) the male characters are fairly much peripheral to the story either because the actors don't have much to do or couldn't do very much with what they had. But there are plenty of male centered films out there. This is a change of pace.
And pace is the right word, this film unfolds gradually, gracefully, and, despite the quirkiness of its characters (a teenager who conducts romance with explosives, e.g.)in a very natural, easy going style.
It does not have a Hollywood ending, sad and wistful instead, but satisfying nonetheless.
