User Review

Vibrant and refreshing

Rating: 7/10


This film is about a salon owner who uses a desperately wants her
mother to get over her father falling in love with someone 20 years
younger. She writes an anonymous love letter to cheer her mother up,
with disastrous results.

Throughout the film, "Beautiful Lies" (as it is called in Hong Kong)
maintains an upbeat and lovable atmosphere. The deceits of beautiful
intentions are so beautiful to watch. Emilie is beautiful, charming and
mischievous, while Jacques is reserved, intellectual and charming. The
mother is vibrant and attractive when her spirits are lifted up. The
film is full of love, not just romantic love, but love for friends,
acquaintances and parents too. And it is funny as well!
