Miao Miao

About This Movie

Miao Miao is this sweet little gem you might not stumble upon at first glance. It’s got a gentle, almost whimsical vibe that captures the simple joys and hiccups of youth. Ai, the lead, clumsily navigates her baking aspirations while discovering herself, and the contrast with Miao Miao’s quiet expertise is charming. The film's pacing feels relaxed, allowing the characters to breathe and grow. There’s a lovely blend of comedy and drama that feels quite authentic. Plus, the way it portrays food and the art of baking is done with a warmth that’s hard to ignore. The performances are refreshingly natural, especially the chemistry between Ai and Miao Miao, which feels true-to-life.
