Suzy Wrong: All Shall Be Well (MQFF)

TV & Film

All too often, goodwill evaporates when someone dies without leaving clear instructions for their last wishes. For queer couples who choose not to marry, or are forbidden to do so, the risk of relatives swooping in and brushing them aside is even greater. So it is in Suk Suk director Ray Yeung’s latest emotional rollercoaster. Once again working with Hong Kong actress Patra Au Ga-man, alongside Maggie Li Lin-lin, they depict sixty-something couple Angie and Pat. But when tragedy strikes quietly, family drama erupts over the prime real estate home they share. Drawing on all-too-familiar truths, this beautifully judged portrait of resilience and resistance is both feminist, reminiscent of A Fantastic Woman’s mission, and proudly anti-ageist too. Picking up the Teddy Award for Best Feature Film at the Berlinale (with Program Director Cerise Howard on the jury) and the Audience Award at Frameline, it’s a winner.
