I watched this film at the Dhaka International Film Festival. It's a good film, I must say—the story, the continuity, and everything overall. I haven't watched many Chinese films, but this is one of the few I truly loved.
Zekai, a Shantou-born boy who works in Shenzhen, decides to return to hometown and take his girlfriend to meet his mother.

能上华语榜，足见今年萧瑟异常，但能以小博大，能在影院延续潮汕叙述，已是极大的功用。镜头下，莫不是印象中的潮汕文化，一如东方各地，在局限中，浓情与薄情总有奇异的配比，而母亲这个身份，有多大的爱，就有多重的伤，为人子女，在再熟悉不过的「为你好」思维里，饮过多少泪，大抵也是心照不宣。这故事，真实到了起承转合都俗套、都刻意的地步，但总会在某些瞬间，以相似的人或事，戳你一下心肺。不过还是要说，别讲妈妈不理解再婚，里面的男人，还是觉得身材大号就是笑料，皮肤黝黑就是重口味……
