synopsis
Une mère célibataire et ses deux filles s’installent à Taipei pour ouvrir un stand sur un marché de nuit. Chacune tente de s’adapter à ce nouvel environnement tout en s’efforçant de préserver l’unité familiale.
"Left-Handed Girl" is an assured and lovely portrait of difficult motherhood and painful daughterhood, but it’s perhaps most entrancing for its turning kaleidoscope-view of the director’s native city, where the characters are the bouncing beads, but Taipei is the glitter and the dazzle.
Variety
It’s one of those films where the stakes don’t appear that high, yet we become so attached to this family and their survival it will all matter a great deal.
The Spectator
More than 20 years after co-directing Take Out with Sean Baker, Tsou, who has produced many of the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s projects, returns behind the camera to helm a modest and entertaining story about three generations of women making their way in contemporary Taipei. The strengths of this slender film, which Tsou co-wrote with Baker, stem from its authentic rendition of daily life in a bustling metropolis.
