I feel like I’ve seen this whole “lying about the diagnosis” thing before…
*cough* Ikiru *cough*
The acting is astonishing. Awkwafina is honestly mad impressive and Zhao Shuzhen is a treasure. Rest of the cast is all pulling their weight too. Just phenomenal all-around. Other faves: Aoi Mizuhara, Tzi Ma, and Diana Lin.
I wish somebody had been singing Wyclef’s part during “Killing Me Softly” smh missed opportunity
Felt like I saw some von Trier / Haneke influence but that was probably projection
Awkwafina’s door not closing at the end dropped it 1/4 star lmao
Oh yeah Memorial Day is this weekend, huh lmao very fitting
