At Cafe 6 (2016)

At Cafe 6 is a youthful romance, a coming of age story, and a deep reflection on the unpredictability of life. It's a film about Guan Min Lu growing up, falling in love, getting angry, becoming heartbroken... It's not a rom com about the perfect guy meets the perfect girl, but about an imperfect guy experiencing his life to the fullest.

The actors are all great at portraying their characters - it really felt like Min Lu and Bo Zhi had known each other for their entire lives, and the audience was just stepping into their lives. The camera work, the direction, the writing, the styling were all on point.

I never read the book, but At Cafe 6 was a movie that entertained me, but also made me think about the preciousness and fragility of our relationships with others. Coming out of the theater, there were a lot of flaws I noticed - there were pacing issues, it seemed some characters began to make irrational decisions. But as a whole, the film's positive points outweighed its negative points by far.
