See You Once Again

About This Movie

See You Once Again is one of those films that hits differently if you've ever navigated familial estrangement. Directed by Jane Leung Chi-Tung, it captures the tense atmosphere of a reunion dinner with a father and daughter who haven't seen each other in nearly two decades. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to feel the weight of their awkwardness, almost like watching strangers try to connect. The performances are layered, particularly the father, whose quiet regret looms large in the room. The cinematography subtly enhances the emotional distance, especially in those long, lingering shots at the table. It’s a poignant exploration of missed opportunities and the complex ties of family, serving as a reminder of the nuances of love and loss.
