    ★★

    Please don't get mad at me when I say this, but this movie feels like a kind of minstrelsy.

    A story that distorts human nature, bends time and space, and chains together a series of implausible coincidences in order to unite a mother with her long-lost son.

    No, not like that.

    Gutless to anonymize the Lebanese Civil War, mystify its causes and figures in order to use it as a kind of matte for this exploitative, bourgeois misery porn that purports to be about "generational trauma," but fetishizes brutality, specifically sexual violence against women.

    Vile, stupid, reprehensible, utter trash.…

    They made a movie about an emotionally remote tiger mom, her emasculated husband, and their daughter who is struggling to assimilate and locked in conflict with her mother, revolving around their struggling laundromat they can barely run, slapped some Kung Fu on it and people are losing their shit. You've got to be kidding me. This shit is like if The Wedding Banquet (but bad) had to be made as an MCU movie written by Dan Harmon. Execrable. But this is probably what movies are all going to be like in a few years. An endless horizon of le epic winsauce awaits.
