Everybody's Fine (2016) Reviews
I've seen this story about the adult family before, and I really like this version.
This Chinese movie marks the third time this story was done. Robert DiNiro did a movie a few years back with the same title, that movie was based on an Italian movie with the same premise. A retired man who just lost his wife is expecting his adult children to come visit him, but they all blow him off, so he packs his bags and visits them instead. In his journey he discovers that his kids are keeping secrets from him and putting up a front to hide their unhappiness over what seems just fine on the surface. The biggest difference between the American one and this one is where the movie takes place, although It's slightly more dramatic and a little more hopeful than the American version about the importance of family. If you did see the American version and liked that than watch this one cause it's pretty much the same.
I don't get the low rating
I understand this film may not be for everyone mainly due to the fact it plays to its very specific Chinese audience. I also know that this film is a retelling of an American films retelling of an Italian classic, all by the same name, however I do prefer this one mainly due to the specific character stories being, in my opinion, much more moving. Definitely worth a watch, but especially if you are learning Chinese or interested in China.
