TOO SWEET



Chinese cinema tends to steer in two major opposite extremes. While Hong Kong revolves around brutal action packed crime stories, mainland Sino-cinema embraces artistic expression. ”The road home” is one of those artsy flicks, with a story about love and dedication between the young village school teacher and its student.

In theory, everything sounds correct. On the big screen, story is pretty thin and elongated. Photography is fine, but there is a lot of overacting as well.

”The road home” is one decent attempt, but nothing more than that. It could have been a lot better. It should have been a lot better.
