march around the world 2026 | 2/30 | 🇭🇰 Hong Kong

I often find that two-hour films seem longer to me than three-hour films, but Fagara breezed by and the credits were rolling before I knew it. The family dynamics here felt realistic to me, and often familiar. Not an especially adventurous story, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Partly on a personal level: two of my grandparents (one on each side) lived part of it. My paternal grandfather and my maternal grandmother both grew up with siblings halfway around the world that they didn't meet until they were adults (though they never ran a hot pot restaurant). To me, Fagara is their story, too. At least a little bit.
