The Troublesome Daughter-in-Law 

When Denis’s parents divorced, the six-year-old boy was sent to the Rozhkovs — his grandfather and grandmother. Denis’s father dies in an accident, and a year later his mother, Liza, arrives at the Rozhkovs’ demanding the return of her son. The Rozhkovs consider their grandson the last joy in their lives and throw out the daughter-in-law they despise. Liza is determined to fight for her child. The Rozhkovs realize that sooner or later they will lose the fight for Denis — the court will side with his mother. Their only chance to keep the boy is to marry Liza off to a local man who will never leave the village. But how can they possibly make that happen?

'The Half of it' Handles its Presented Social Issues Thoughtfully

The social issues The Half of it takes on are handled well, between the antagonization brought on to Ellie for her race and the conflict that arises from her being gay. Both aspects of her character are built up over the course of the film and don’t seem abrupt or rushed. The film shows racism towards Ellie and her and father in varying levels, from having her schoolmates specifically address her as "Chinese girl” to the fore mentioned way her Dad is treated due to language barriers. The same can be said about Ellie being a lesbian. While she never truly “comes out” in the narrative, that does not undermine her journey of self-discovery from being meaningful. These ideas aren’t thrust upon the viewer in a preachy manor, the scenarios that occur feel believable given the rural setting. The film presents watchers with problems whom those like Ellie may face, and leaves us to sit with them and reflect.
