It's nice to have Tom Lin back.
And this time with a film really on his level. Not that his previous one was bad, but something was missing. Now Yen and Ai-Lee is Lin's film that leans closest to the classic arthouse. Not exactly my favorite style, but the execution is more than adequate and the dramatic heart of the film is also good.
Strong acting, tight cinematography and a nice soundtrack make sure it is technically sound. Furthermore, the relationship between mother and daughter is strong and the story is also nicely put together, although there may be a bit too many genre influences for the pure arthouse audience. I enjoyed this film, Lin shows himself to be a certainty.
4.0* and an extensive review
