This is easily the standout movie for me that I've seen in the last 12 months that breaks the typical tropes and storylines of most movies. Jia Ling's blends comedy and emotion that will have you laughing and then crying. A fantastic movie that everyone should see. While the film is an adaptation, you can feel the director's own pain and struggles through the characterisation of Leying. A review about this movie would also not be complete without mentioning the mind blowing dedication and transformation that Jia Ling personally went through in a year to make her directorial vision into reality. While it is not uncommon to see big name Hollywood actors changing their physical appearance for a role, none of those transformations can match what she went through.
