After falling in love with Emily Ting's debut feature film Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong a few years ago, I was very much looking forward to seeing what she would do next. While Go Back to China continues the semi autobiographical theme, she digs deeper into her family history and specifically during a time when she moved back home to help her family's toy manufacturing business. The story is filled with culture clashes and family struggles all told with a comic touch that keeps things light hearted and fun from start to finish.
Go Back to China is an important film when it comes to representation and inclusion within the Asian film community and the story covers a lot of important territory in a really fun way. Ting knows exactly how to balance relevant topics with just the right amount of humor and wraps everything up in a heartwarming package that is a real joy to watch.
