Review of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (2011) by Chuckgosh — 05 Aug 2011

This is a terrific film, but guys won't get it. At all. Touching, moving, powerful, subtle. A story about women, especially those who have a deep, lifelong relationship with another woman whom they love as a close sister.

Except for one or two minor characters, the male figures in this story do not generally show men in a good light.

Women understand that you can learn more truth from the look on someone's face than you can from the words they speak, and that is used often here.

If they'd added a few car chases, some gunfire and explosions, then guys would enjoy it. Until then, it's wasted on most of them. See it on the big screen before it's gone.
