Look Up and See Joy (2023)

This is actually nice

So I had read some bad reviews so I had low expectations… but this was actually cute and nice
Yes, sure, this is nothing extraordinary or epic. But this still makes one pass a good time : we have four good stories about love within the family.
It’s not something overly dramatic though : you still get good laughters, especially in the second story, with the father getting his head stuck in a bar, who desperately refuses to take off his mask and take the risk of being photographed (jeez, this had me dead ???, especially the way people who gather around him to try to get his head out).
Nevertheless, the stories are both touching and happy. It will help give you a breath of fresh air, exactly what you need when you don’t want anything serious for a moment.
The actors are great, even the youngest children : some may be disappointed that Dylan Wang is there for only a quarter of the story but honestly ? This is to be expected, the movie doesn’t lie about the fact that this is divided in four parts.

This is tough

I am a big Wang Hedi fan so ok, if you are watching this just for him just go in with expectation will only have about 20 minutes screentime and bit of a cheesy storyline with no romance angle.

This does not change my opinion of Wang Hedi? No

Look these short films obviously small project that might just take 1/2 days of filming, bit of a smaller project during downtime whilst waiting for bigger project/drama to commence.

I fast forwarded the rest of the film after the panda bear got caught in the rails. Story kinda got flat. If you are a Wang Hedi fan just watch his story, that's it. His story is about him designing a platform for his grandfather to reminisce about his grandmother when they first met. That's it really!
