But those hoping for a renewal, or maybe even an amping up of \u201cSuk Suk\u201ds restrained interrogation of internalized and externalized homophobia within  Hong Kong\u2019s economically advanced but culturally conservative middle class, may be a little dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointed. Although his fourth film revolves around a sixty-something lesbian couple, Yeung\u2019s focus is broader, not sharper. The disappointment will however be mild, not just because there are plenty of other plaintive insights on offer, but because everything here is mild. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Angie (Patra Au Ga-man) and Pat (Maggie Li Lin-lin) have been a settled, loving couple for more than 40 years. They are now enjoying the simpler, slower pleasures of neighborhood life as older partners of such long standing that no one bats an eyelid at their non-traditional relationship. Pat, the more gregarious one, has cannily managed the finances from the textile factory they ran together, so that they are now comfortably off, living in the home she bought three decades prior. Pat has even been able, unbeknownst to Angie, to help out two other members of their small local lesbian community with a starter loan for their now-thriving florist shop. As they bustle through a companionable breakfast-time, Angie, the quieter, less practical one, gets frustrated sending a text through an unfamiliar messaging app. Pat shows her how with a couple of clicks. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    They visit the market together, stocking up on the supplies for a family get-together they are hosting to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Actually, it\u2019s all Pat\u2019s family: her\u00a0older brother Shing (Tai Bo), his wife Mei (Hui So Ying), their grown-up children Victor (Leung Chung Hang) and Fanny (Fish Liew Chi Yu), along with Fanny\u2019s husband and two young kids. Far from there being any awkwardness, however, the extended brood descend on Pat and Angie\u2019s in a cheerful clatter. The little kids call both older women \u201cGrandma.\u201d Fanny confides some of her worries about her husband\u2019s lack of prospects with her \u201cAunty Angie.\u201d And when Angie tries to press some cash on struggling Uber driver Victor, he gives it back, smiling ruefully and telling her that Pat got there first.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Most touchingly perhaps, there\u2019s a special bond between Angie and Shing, her sorta-brother-in-law, who has had a couple of professional setbacks and now he and Mei are only just getting by. As they wave a convivial goodbye to everyone at the end of the night you can sense (not just from Yeung\u2019s sensitive scriptwriting but from the mutually bolstering chemistry the two actresses share) that Pat and Angie, far from being the outcasts in this little tribe, are the lucky ones. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In a way, the portrayal of this gay later-life relationship as the most stable one within an ordinary Hong Kong family is its own kind of delightful subversion, and there would have been something oddly brave about simply sticking with this wonderful twosome, through the swells and lulls of their everyday routines. But Yeung has a lot of other social statements to broach in his careful, polite way, and so, soon after, Angie is fussing in the kitchen and calls out a question to Pat, who doesn\u2019t answer. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Pat\u2019s premature death throws Angie into an even quieter state, as though she has been winded. But agonizing grief is perhaps the most benevolent of the burdens she will have to shoulder. Pat died without a will and the pair were unwed (gay marriage still not being legal in Hong Kong). And so Shing, as Pat\u2019s next of kin, not only gets to make decisions about his sister\u2019s funeral, he stands to inherit everything she and Angie had shared, even their home. Though Angie can scarcely believe it, one by one the family she thought loved her as one of their own, turn \u2014 albeit apologetically \u2014 against her. And DP Leung Ming-kai\u2019s fine cinematography, all softened edges and warm tones, becomes lucidly shallow-focused, separating Angie\u2019s anguished face from the blur of a callous world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Everyone, as Jean Renoir said, has their reasons. The rationale behind each cruelty is delicately evoked and domestic instability, Hong Kong\u2019s cutthroat property market, and its paltry social support systems become the real villains. Which is all very even-keeled and level-headed, but, a little like with Veronica Lee\u2019s insistently winsome score, the lack of inflection in the film\u2019s infinitely broad-spectrum compassion can sometimes feel less like restraint and more like timidity. Anger is alien to Yeung\u2019s style but it is sometimes justified, and without it, \u201cAll Shall Be Well\u201d is a plea for understanding that should by now, by rights, be a demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
