A Thousand Years of Good Prayers Reviews

Wayne Wang is not really a famous director nowadays but I have a weak spot for him so when I get the opportunity, I always check his movies. Furthermore, my father is Dutch and moved to live in France and I'm French and moved to live in the Netherlands so the subject of this movie really touched me personally. Anyway, it was basically a really simple story with only 2 characters and most of the movie took place in one location. The lead character portraying the father was very good and I really enjoyed the way they displayed the issues when you mixed up different cultures and generations together. In fact, the father and the daughter in this movie didn't have a real conversation for years, they never had learned to show and talk about their feelings and, as a result, you got here some touching and even rather heartbreaking scenes. Eventually, they spent most of the time dealing with the father, as a result, we only understood what was going on with the daughter only during the last 10 minutes of the movie and it would have been interesting if they did spend more time with her. Still, even though it was nothing really amazing, it was a nice and interesting little movie and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
