Lulu

About This Movie

So, Lulu is this intriguing Canadian drama from '96, which really dives deep into the complexities of immigration and personal sacrifice. You’ve got this young Vietnamese woman, Lulu, who marries a petty thief named Lucky—not exactly a love match, but more of a survival strategy. The pacing here is a bit languid, allowing for some introspective moments that contrast with the harsh realities they face. The atmosphere is a mix of melancholy and hope, reflecting the struggles of both Lulu and her family. I think what stands out is how it captures the immigrant experience with raw honesty. Performances are solid, especially from the leads, who embody that tension between dreams and reality. There's a distinct artistic flair that gives it a unique edge.
