.
A single mother and her two daughters relocate to Taipei to open a night market stall, each navigating the challenges of adapting to their new environment while striving to maintain family unity.
« 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. » (The Hollywood Reporter)
