Left-Handed Girl (2025) directed by Shih-Ching Tsou. This family drama navigates generations of a Taiwanese family and their dynamics. Shu-Fen moves to Taipei with her two daughters—young adult I-Ann and five-year-old I-Jing. She opens a noodle stand in a night market and struggles to make ends meet. Shu-Fen's relationships with her parents and siblings complicate everything. All of the characters are just living their lives but also "putting on a good face" for the public and one another. Until it all unravels, in some sense. Beware the Devil Hand that sets a lot of bad things into motion! (Thanks, Grandpa!)
The cinematography favors rich colors and amber light. The sound mixing is exquisite at times, especially during market scenes. It's a sensually-rich movie. Highly recommended.
