FamilyDrama

One of the most acclaimed movies to come out of China last year, Feng Shui harnesses the talents of underrated actress Yan Bingyan to deliver this family drama about a woman desperate to ascend to the middle class and willing to pay any price. Powerful and emotionally tense, this is a portrait of the hidden side of the great Chinese success story.

VIBE

This film feels like a slow, deliberate descent into the suffocating pressures of societal expectations. It's a raw, unflinching look at the sacrifices one makes for a better life, leaving a lingering sense of unease.
