This is a movie that makes good on narrative film’s super power: the ability to touch universal human being through the lives of specific characters in their unique circumstances. If you like films that don’t spoon feed viewers, that trust the audience to “read” into, behind, and beyond the images and sounds presented, After Yang is a “must see.” It has a great deal to offer about who we are and how we live now. The story world and plot are carefully crafted in service of that. For anyone who accepts this and engages on its own terms, After Yang is anything but slow.
