Little Big Women

Little Big Women (孤味, 2020) is a Taiwanese family drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Hsu Cheng-chieh centers it on an aging restaurant owner with a soft spot for karaoke, whose settled life cracks open at her estranged husband's funeral.

By the coffin she runs into the late man's younger, more polished partner. Worse still, she learns her grown daughters may have stayed in quiet contact with their father for years. Pride, hurt and the refusal to forgive pull tight against each other. Chen Shu-fang carries the film as the matriarch, and her performance turned the role into a touchstone of recent Taiwanese cinema. It's a small, unhurried story about how hard it is to let go.
