The Bridge

About This Movie

So, 'The Bridge' is this interesting family drama that unfolds in Hong Kong, centered on Lai-sing, a journalist with big dreams, and his sister Kei-mei. The atmosphere feels a bit nostalgic, maybe even melancholic, as the family's dynamics play out against this backdrop of separation and tradition. The pacing is quite deliberate—there's a contemplative quality to the storytelling that invites reflection. What stood out for me were the practical effects used in the scenes depicting the family's gatherings, grounding the film in a tangible reality. The performances are heartfelt, particularly in how they convey the nuances of family ties and loss. It’s distinctive for its focus on cultural rituals, which adds depth to the character relationships.
