    I feel that the film has a taste of East Asia, and the lines are very simple, but the story and feelings are all there. Many shots have a documentary feel, and Katie Holmes' smoky outfit is also eye-catching! And the Chinese people in the film at least speak Chinese very authentically, which is also worth extra...

    American parents are short-lived, they are not just optimistic and cheerful

    I watched "April Fragments" (2004 US) yesterday. The director is very clever. Using the American Thanksgiving Day as a small incision, it reflects the American family concept and the indifference between family relationships. It seems that he is also advocating the Chinese family concept to the old...

    Enjoyable moments that don't add up

    Another good film ruined by a hurried-tidy ending.

    Production value, as is usual with low-budget indies, is pretty low. The handheld camera is use to the optimal benefits, emphasizing the confines and the cheap squalor of April's apartment, and making her and her boyfriend's warmth more touching....
