Although there were a couple of funny and touching moments, none were enough to make this movie worthwhile for me. The acting was good, but that's about it. I didn't care about the story, characters, or relationships. I mainly went in because I heard the director was know great shots/cinematography, but I didn't really find any of the shots to be stand-out or all that awesome. I'm glad I saw this on a mantinee, otherwise I would be really angry at wasting money. If you really want to see this, it's probably better to wait for the film on a streaming service instead of paying at the theaters.

Ash Is Purest White’s is an epic spanning decades and vast geography that ultimately gives way to the intimate and personal.

All that we treasure in Jia is there in Zhao’s scrutinizing gaze, at once pointed and guarded, and in the fierce patience with which she deliberates before taking action.
