35岁的伍思薇写了Saving Face, 阔别15年,50岁的她不失所望带来了Ellie Chu, 一个让人联想起高中时代Will的角色。Asianness在她的电影里从不失真—it’s the nuance of how Ellie and how her relationship with her father is portrayed, the subtext of people’s words, and the way Ellie navigates the world are all informed by components of culture we are already familiar with. 电影多层次的哲理元素,展示了伍导演作家身份的人文关怀,兼具身份认同感。
