    Hi Eyang,

    Watched this film again tonight. Only this time, Indira and I decided to do it together. As you can expect, there were tons of sobs and piled up tissue papers.

    We miss you immensely. Come by in our dreams any time, Eyang.

    Love,
    Your granddaughters

    This was immensely difficult to watch and not because it's remotely relatable, but because the lack of cohesiveness, golden spark of every rom-coms and notable liners were too painful to tune out. And if only Sydney was not so oversexualized, this film might actually have a chance.

    Not every film that explores topics of taboo is brave and revolutionary. Some actually have really bad takes and execution that they only win an audience for the topic they try to raise. I say "A" for effort, but nothing else otherwise.
