synopsis

Une mère célibataire et ses deux filles s’installent à Taipei pour ouvrir un stand sur un marché de nuit. Chacune tente de s’adapter à ce nouvel environnement tout en s’efforçant de préserver l’unité familiale.

"Left-Handed Girl" is an assured and lovely portrait of difficult motherhood and painful daughterhood, but it’s perhaps most entrancing for its turning kaleidoscope-view of the director’s native city, where the characters are the bouncing beads, but Taipei is the glitter and the dazzle.

Variety

Left-Handed Girl

It’s one of those films where the stakes don’t appear that high, yet we become so attached to this family and their survival it will all matter a great deal.

The Spectator

More than 20 years after co-directing Take Out with Sean Baker, Tsou, who has produced many of the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s projects, returns behind the camera to helm a modest and entertaining story about three generations of women making their way in contemporary Taipei. The strengths of this slender film, which Tsou co-wrote with Baker, stem from its authentic rendition of daily life in a bustling metropolis.
