It works well as a parable. The "Family" is like the Chinese Communists. They blindly followed the orders from Mao to burn books and kill the intellectuals so as to eliminate human culture in "The Cultural Revolution". If you tried to convince them to go back to "the way we were", you would only end up like Richie.
a melodrama without a theme or a message. there is no contrast and relationship among the difficulties which the three main characters deal with. why does the director put them into one movie?
the premise seems promising. a police officer troubled by his past comes to a urban village where the neighbourhood tries to cover up some secrets. however, the story goes nowhere. secrets are unveiled too early. characters do absurd things. eventually a disappointing film.
