If you've lost a grandmother who was always the quirkiest old lady in the room, who had been through a hell of a lot, who could bring your family together without even attempting to do so, who waved you goodbye from her front door <b>everytime</b> you left her house, who gave you spooky information that you didn't ask for, who had a knack for teasing you in the most benevolent way, who had a lifelong battle with cancer but stood tall through it all, who never let her personal beliefs get in the way of loving you, who is missed very dearly... then this is for you.
Miss you lots gram.
<b>× Best Line: </b>I never saw him again. And every time I came back to China, he just wasn't there anymore. And I come back and he's just gone. The house is gone, A Die's gone, our Beijing home is gone and soon she'll be gone too.

Oh Lulu. OH Lulu. OH LULU WANG. This movie is fantastic. If you have a grandmother that is still alive (or any close relative tbh), go give her a hug. This movie had me thinking about my life and how I would handle certain situations, and I am glad it did. Oh, and that tagline is amazing: <i>Based on an actual lie.</i>
