🍿 MIFF number 11 was All Shall Be Well (2024) ★★★½

A rectangular image with a review of the movie All Shall Be Well (2024). The movie poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Good selected. The review reads: The simple living of life by the older lesbian couple, Pat and Angie, is done in a lovely understated way at the start but ends with the death of Pat early in the film. With only Pat’s name on the deed to their apartment and no will, Angie suddenly experiences the legal and cultural barriers to same sex unions in Hong Kong. With Pat’s family inheriting the apartment, I wanted to dislike them for pushing Angie out of her home but it’s wrapped up in the context of the complex cultural and family traditions at play in Asian families. The film balances the selfishness of Pat’s family against Angie’s community of other lesbian couples, who provide the much needed emotional support to her, in a quiet but telling way.
