A Fun, but Bumpy, Road with “Onward"
While the film didn’t hit me as emotionally as I wanted it to, I still enjoyed it. I simply wish there was a little more, particularly with the world building.
GoodBye
NoMood, suffers from post-traumatic stress following the accidental death of his ex-girlfriend in Kaohsiung; not only does he lack the courage to say a proper goodbye, but as a screenwriter, he also lacks the courage to write a proper ‘goodbye’. Meanwhile, producer Wong finds himself at a loss how to help his daughter cope with her grief following his ex-wife’s death, and chooses to shirk his responsibilities. This is not merely a story of love, but a journey of two men confronting their guilt.
