I used to be a big fan of the show. It got significantly worse over time but even the worst episode was still way better than this film.

Major plothole ever five minutes, people just making stuff up as they go, with zero logic or explanation. Either the script was really bad or at least an hour of material was cut out to make it shorter and fit the format.

Convoluted, illogical, many characters are there because the actor caved to be in it while there was no script for them to play.

It was planned as a worthy closing to the saga but honestly, some films would be better off never being made. This is one of them.

I'm really not sure if this film was the best choice to kick off this years festival of Asian films in Prague. It's very depressing for most of the time but also very heartwarming at the same time. But in the end it will pick your mood up. But thanks to the Taiwanese representation for the welcome anyway.

Story of loosing close ones, the inevitability of death, mystery and coming to terms with the reality, however sad it may be. Introduction by the director, who disclosed it's partially based on his life, was a cherry on top. Highly recommendable. 8/10.

An intersting theme has been chosen for this short film; caring for our elderly family, something that happens to most of us in our lives. Good camera, good music, the audio wasn't that good (some microphones a bit closer to the actors certainly would've helped), but all in all, a sweet piece. I wanted to give it 6*, but to see Willem smile at the end deserves at least one more in itself. :-) 7* it is.
