FAGARA (MANDARIN: ENGLISH SUBTITLES)

Director/writer Heiward Mak has taken an overwrought, stale scenario and revitalized it with a charming injection of kindness, wit and discovery; three young women from disparate backgrounds bond over the death of their father (poignantly perfect, huggable Kenny Bee), from three different women; Li Xiao, Megan Lai, Sammi Cheng are exquisitely cast as struggling ladies in contemporary China; working together in their deceased dad’s restaurant, coming to terms with careers, boyfriends and familial relationships; a niche of camaraderie envelops the trinity as they search for their father’s secret recipe; in the quest they find themselves, happiness and the ultimate realization, not only of their father’s love, but his gift of encouragement in their individual pursuits. A touchingly beautiful, intuitively heartwarming film.

 

FOUR STARS!!!!
