As well as praising the film for its authentic Asian American representation, many viewers have described the movie as “moving” and “deeply emotional”. On TikTok, fans have posted before and after clips of themselves entering the cinema and then inserting a clip of themselves crying after having watched it:
It’s safe to say it looks like an emotional rollercoaster, and while it being a sci-fi may deter a lot of people from wanting to see what this movie’s about, it’s already being hailed as one of the best movies of 2022. And if you haven’t got any weekend cinema plans , perhaps a watch of the trailer will put into perspective how genre-defying and wide-spanning this movie is. Yes, it may sound like it has a simple plotline but if the internet is collectively saying this film is ugly cry-worthy, we have no other option than to prepare the tissues before we go to see it.Sign up for the latest news and must-read features from Stylist, so you don't miss out on the conversation.
