Review of In the Family (2011) by Ricardo H — 30 Mar 2014
Although slow at times and although I thought the part stretched Mr. Wang's abilities as an actor, the movie as a whole is great and I didn't notice until the end that I was so engrossed in the plot that 3 hours had gone by.
What could have turned into a cheesy overdramatic production was done with amazingly understated taste. If there ever was a reason why gay marriage should be legal, this movie gives a backstage view at what gay couples who share a home have to face when their union is not recognized by the law.
Some people choose to scream, this movie chose to calmly and logically argue in favour of gay rights simply by showing the love of a gay couple and their love for their son.
