I don't have a problem with how the film presented a mess this Sanlian Liu was facing after her husband left her for a young man, however the film after all is tapping on a very sensitive topic where all the members of this family was involved. There are two guys in love with each other, there is a son, there is a wife. The film spent a lot of time shaping the female character and didn't go into the romantic relationship of the two men. It somehow stays somewhere like a relative of brotherhood level. As an audience, i need a strong justification convincing me to forgive the husband cheating his wife into a marrage and leaving her after 14 years. Yes you got sick and you were dying. And you wanna be yourself in your ramaining days, but it's just not good enough for me that you did what you did to the poor woman just because of your selfish reasons.
if the film strech further into the gay couples' romance and present a fact that this husband had no chiece but to choose him after an internal struggle, the film would have been a lot better.
I would not give this film more than 5 out of 10. The film is after all talking about an unfortunate marrige and it should balance all the characters evenly so that the gay guys presented won't look like dicks or at list one of them did.
