 Summary: Serious drama, not bad
 
     This is worth seeing for sure. It's about 3 women, one from China, one from Hong Kong, and one from Taiwan (just like in real life!) who all are living in New York, US.  Sylvia Chang is the best I think, she plays a woman struggling to live in America with many problems in her life, especially the prejedice views forced against her from Americans. Maggie Cheung plays a lesbian in this movie, and doesn't act as well as I had hoped.
 Still, it's worth watching for a serious drama, and I think it was shot in sync sound too, it certainly sounded like it. The subtitles are in good English for once too, but as I don't understand Mandarin, not sure if all of it was right, but it looked right for what happens in the film.
 
 Rating (out of 5): 3
 
 (This rating is based on the year & genre, so don't think it's based as a comparison on new releases etc.)
