Audience Reviews for Lilting

  • Jan 17, 2015
    Whishaw and Cheng are great in this touching story of grief, language barriers and even the differences that are brought to light when people finally understand each other - which gives rise to some very humorous moments -, although it also avoids going deeper in its emotions.
