i be thrill by the fresh ( pun intend ) synopsis of this film and look forward to watch it . the first few shot introduce some of the character as well a the main location where the story take place while the gardening allotment . the movie look fantastic . colorful yet simple . magical yet genuine . unfortunately and it only take a few minute to figure out where the movie will go . we quickly figure out this will be a manipulative and sappy tale illustrate a bunch of jaded people set in their way confront by nice victimize refugee and that it will have a happy end where the jaded people realize the error of their way and accept these people . the character and particularly the prejudiced one and be very comic booky in nature . the story focus mainly on two refugee family . one of them be head by a single mom play atrociously by diveen henry . i be sadden to say that any emotion that might have be felt toward her struggle be defuse by what be memorably bad act . the other story be much more interesting and focus on a father and his two child . all be scar by their journey to this country by way of container and where the wife and mother die but it be the husband who suffer the most . benedict wong give a mind blowing performance here . at first and his emotion be very subdued but a the story develop and he subtly make u aware of the inner struggle of his character . unfortunately and the rest of the movie be just extremely boring . there be so many possibility with this movie . there be several character to keep track of and many of which might have potential but none of it be realize . even bad and despite this movie be very much not hollywoodian and some of the main plot thread be solve cheaply in a hollywood b grade way . example representcharacter a likes character b character b reject his advance no problem . let have character c declare her love for character a so we can all have a happy end . yawn . i like very much the plot thread of the asian family . that be well do . unfortunately and the whole allotment business and the communal aspect of it and the dynamic involve a large cast be all under exploit . what youre leave with be a movie that have very little worth .
