Be My Friend

About This Movie

So, 'Be My Friend' is this interesting take on the classic mother-son dynamic, right? It follows 17-year-old Li Jinjin, who finds himself in his mom's past—literally. Zhuang Dafei as Jinjin manages to bring a youthful energy while also grappling with some heavy themes of understanding and reconciliation. The pacing is pretty relaxed, allowing for some genuine moments between him and his mom, played by Chen Haoyu. The setting in the scrap metal band is quirky and adds a layer of nostalgia. There's a nice blend of comedy and heartfelt moments, especially as Jinjin interacts with his mom's friends. It's not just about the laughs; there's depth in their conflicts and gradual healing.
