So, 'Me and My Condemned Father' is a documentary that digs into the complexities of family ties and morality. Cheng, the son caught in this tragic web, navigates the conflicting emotions of loving his father while mourning his mother. The atmosphere is heavy, with an oppressive sense of dread hanging over every discussion. The pacing is reflective, allowing for pauses that amplify the emotional weight of each revelation. What struck me was how it contrasts the innocence of childhood with the grim realities of adult decisions. Those moments when Cheng meets the children of other death row inmates—it's raw and honestly heartbreaking. The performances are not flashy but feel authentic, almost like we’re intruding on private moments. A film that doesn’t shy away from discomfort, it’s a deep dive into familial love and loss.
