The 1993 film adaptation of Amy Tan's bestselling novel is both a delight and a moving experience, an anthology of stories wrapped in one Chinese-American woman's journey to understand her roots. Wayne Wang (Eat a Bowl of Tea) directs a large, outstanding cast spread over eight different tales of the lives of Chinese women, most of them set in the past. The script by Tan and Ronald Bass (Rain Man) is a delicate balance of emotions that swell but don't gush, and Wang brings impressive texture and a personal feel to Tan's descriptions of daily life in the Chinese-American community. This sprawling, good-looking movie makes for a cathartic tearjerker one can feel good about. --Tom Keogh

The very first time I saw this movie I was 17.My grandmother took me to see it.
As a teenage girl I was an emotional wreck over the mother-daughter dilemmas presented by this film.I cried the whole way through.I was so glad my grandmother brought a box of tissues with her.
I recently saw this movie again at 32 and felt engaged by it on a different level.Now understanding more the personal dilemmas of each of the female characters.
It's an interesting experience ... Read More
