Why is this film top-tier? Because it doesn’t coddle you. The director, Ming-Na Wen, stages a 12-minute single take where Lin argues with her mother. The mother speaks pure Mandarin. Lin responds in broken Mandarin, slipping into English. The argument is about a lost photograph. You don't know what the photo is. You only know it matters because the mother starts crying, and Lin throws a bowl of congee at the wall.
