Never Say Never

Ba jiao long thing (or Never Say Never in English) constitutes a solid directing debut for Wang Baoqiang, who has in recent movies shown that he is more than a comedic relieve. The acting of him and all the other - including child - actors was great, always convincing and moving.

The story itself was a moving tale that felt real and the plot unfolded naturally and never forced. The Sichuanese dialect gave it a grounded feeling.

As said above, the general direction was solid with some nice shots and camera movements and good editing, but nothing outstanding.

Definitely, a watch recommendation!
