About This Movie

So, Dim Sum (A Little Bit of Heart) is a really intimate look at the lives of these émigrés, you know? Jane Wong’s approach is quite personal, really. The way she films her mom and those two friends creates this warm and inviting atmosphere, almost like you're sitting at the table with them. The pacing is reflective, allowing for those quiet moments that resonate deeply.
