Crappy film
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
This Chinese movie marks the third time this story was done. Robert DiNiro did a movie a few years back with the same title, that movie was based on an Italian movie with the same premise. A retired man who just lost his wife is expecting his adult children to come visit him, but they all blow him off, so he packs his bags and visits them instead. In his journey he discovers that his kids are keeping secrets from him and putting up a front to hide their unhappiness over what seems just fine on the surface. The biggest difference between the American one and this one is where the movie takes place, although It's slightly more dramatic and a little more hopeful than the American version about the importance of family.If you did see the American version and liked that than watch this one cause it's pretty much the same.
