Chen and Chiu's genuine, rarely cloying performances along with Cheung's urgent sincerity add immeasurably to this timely film's many modest pleasures.

A modestly scaled, quietly effective independent movie about a struggling single mother and her two children.
Urgent, artful and even austerely poetic.
The young director Tze Chun is not a flashy filmmaker, but he understands the vulnerability of immigrant workers in the sleazy sub-rosa economies of a floundering 21st-century America.
Heartfelt but dramatically tepid tale.
