    Like many independent small films, maybe it has a lot of imperfections, but there are always a few moments that can move you. For example, celebrate Jia Deng's birthday and watch the B-ultrasound at the end. Life is always moving. I still remember the excitement when I heard my daughter's fetal heart for the first time, the tears couldn't stop in an instant. The ending life is also a kind of hope. Although there are many depressions in the process, it is still a healing story. ....

    It's still very touching. These poor children, unfortunately, have lost a sense of empathy, and felt that the tension did not show up in 96...

    Favorite movie of the year so far

    The name of the movie was translated as "Juvie Shelter". The reason I didn’t like it was because the original movie’s name was not Juvie Shelter... The name of this shelter, Short Term 12, is so artistic, if the translation is not so straightforward. NS.

    The movie trailer is more open and honest,...
