What a mess. What happened to Wayne Wang? THE JOY LUCK CLUB was a great movie, carefully weaving different stories into a whole, never losing sight of the narrative thread that tied everything together.
SNOW FLOWER has come undone. The binding has loosened spilling everything onto the floor.
It's hard to keep track of what's going on. It takes extra concentration and after forty minutes pass, you realize it's not going to be worth it. Film flip-flops between time periods weakening the tales the periods are telling. We don't get inside the characters to care about them.
And what the heck is Hugh Jackman doing in the movie? Again, his character is paper-thin so instead of adding to the drama he instead becomes a distraction.
Film is terrible. Lisa See must've felt sick to her stomach after watching this.
