Chu And Blossom (Charles Chu and Gavin Kelly, 2014): USA

Reviewed by Johanna Carlsson at Santa Barbara International Film Festival 2014.

Can you imagine how it would be if you moved to a new country?

How it would be if you came there and had a hard time speaking the language and to fit into the society?

Understanding the language is one thing and then you also have to understand the people.

All of this is something a boy named Chu does in this movie.

Now he has moved to the United States from China to study.

Do you think he is going to make it?

Becomes best friend with a guy named Blossom.

Learning how to let go and enjoy life.

Oh so beautiful, he falls in love with a girl.

Such a different person he becomes.

So withdrawn in the beginning but now so happy and an enjoyer of life.

Oh, may he take this with him when he goes back to China!

Missing the beautiful in life is no longer an option for Chu.
