I am not going to give a critical account of this movie. All I will say is that it was very powerful and moved me (heavily) to tears a number of times, especially at the end. Lianne Hu is magnificent! You cannot help but fall in love with her Lee (in more than a sympathetic, but not an overly emotional way), and Steve Dunning is a very sensitive and touching writer and director. Bravo!
