With the sure hand of a skilled miniaturist, Mina Shum has crafted a nearly flawless film.
Top CriticAn awkwardly contrived exercise in magic realism.
Long Life, Happiness & Prosperity is more often forced than affecting.
The cold and dreary weather is a perfect metaphor for the movie itself, which contains few laughs and not much drama.
The story is smart and entirely charming in intent and execution.
The problematic characters and overly convenient plot twists foul up Shum's good intentions.
