101 minutes of verbosity

According to the data, this film is a story made by the director himself, and I think it may be because of this that he cannot make a more concise treatment of the film.

Movies are not novels. Movies should pay more attention to the language of the shots rather than the dialogue. The quality of the dialogue can improve the quality of a film, but it is not the task of the film to rely on dialogue to narrate. The overly lengthy dialogue in the film makes many scenes boring and overshadows the role the acting is supposed to play. Many scenes are procrastinated, and the conflicts between mother and child, between lovers, and between doctors and patients have not been controlled with reasonable strength. The plot promotion seems to lack motivation, and even Uma Thurman's graceful posture is lacking in interest.

Streep's acting is flawless, and if it can be re-edited, maybe the film has something to watch.

    It looks better than I expected. I thought it would be a bloody love affair between siblings, but it turned out to be a true love of set you free. I like this ending very much. The male protagonist is very cute, and Uma is too beautiful. The role of Aunt Mei is my favorite in her movies recently~
