Ming of Gold

About This Movie

So, Ming of Gold - it's a quirky little film that spins a tale of young love wrapped in cultural clashes. Ming, at 16, is navigating the chaos of first love with Paul, who, well, isn’t your typical boyfriend. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it suits the awkward charm of teen romance. The interplay between cultural expectations and personal desires is a recurring theme, and there's something refreshingly raw about how Ming's father's disapproval is portrayed. Paul’s kleptomania adds a layer of absurdity, and the performances bring a certain sincerity, albeit with a few hammy moments. It’s a mixed bag, but that’s part of its charm, right? There’s a warmth here that lingers long after the credits roll.
