Critics Consensus

A comedy of generational manners that blossoms into a sweet tearjerker, How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies bets big on earnestness and hits the jackpot.

While being an emotional ride, it doesn’t feel overly manipulative. A lovely sense of restraint and tenderness runs through it. On the flip side, there’s little about the film’s plot that’s not predictable.

3/5

The comedy is not quite so dark that her dysfunctional family have murderous plans — but elbows are still sharpened in a tale of everyday avarice.

It's a good, solid bittersweet dramedy about families and family legacies.

One of those films that, beneath the crowd-pleaser packaging, reminds us of the value of spending time with the ones we love. [Full Review in Spanish]

This story of generations and their differing views, as well as parenting, gender, nuclear families and carers, is powered by assured performances from Putthipong Assaratanakul and Usha Seamkhum

How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies isn't the epitome of originality, nor does it need to be. It delivers exactly what it promises: a beautiful and tender story...[Full review in Spanish]

The story, character creation, concept, rhythm, picture, color, and music are all excellent. "The son gets the inheritance, the daughter gets cancer", lightly but straightforwardly expresses the deep-rooted imbalance in this seemingly unsolvable traditional concept. But there is no fairness in the world, and in the end, the family still relies on the inseparable love to find the forgotten true feelings and reach an understanding with each other. Isn't this the case for most of the thousands of families in reality?

The kind of movie where you stay a few minutes after— not because of a mid credits stinger, but because you need some time in the dark for the tears to dry…

Its just a fucking masterpiece. I recently lost my grandma to a complication,and since i was still attending my univ i was unable to meet her as usual as i did before and i regret not being able to meet her every fucking day because of my game addiction. Before she bit the dust i was still able to meet her in the hospital,she was getting a teensy bit better and became a lil bit happy and calm after hearing my voice. She held my hand like i used to held hers when she was healthy. I sat there for minutes and accompanied her trying to comfort her. But she told to come closer to her face to whisper "it hurts a lot" repeatedly and saying "wanting to go home" .......i couldn't do much but comfort her. Two days later she kicked the bucket,she stayed for as long as she can just so that i can meet her one last fucking time. This movie just captures how it feels to lose a loved one especially your closed family :(. I miss you Gran"/Nai"(chinese for grandma) pls be happy with "Granpa/Akhong" ILY.
