Writing
Dear Madam or Sir,
Written and directed by a female director, Hi, Mom fictionalizes a time-travel story to get across her emotion to her late mother Li Huanying.
In the cinematic plots, what is appealing to us is that the director arranged for her mother to transform her “awkward and disappointing” life. The most memorable scene is that when the mom said speaking of my future daughter, I just want her to be happy and healthy. Comedy as it is, the film, which is a tearjerker, absolutely lives up to the audience.
It explores the theme of love in a humorous way. Once stepping into the cinema, you will find yourself glued to the screen.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
