Review of Dear Ex

Dear Ex (2018)
Light Comedy, Heavy Subjects (best LGBTQ film of the year)
9 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
A hysterical mother getting back the life insurance money left to the gay lover by her dead-by-cancer husband. You would think it'd be another depressing drama on LGBTQ tragedies, but it's actually a light comedy, with bits that make you laugh out loud. The heavy subjects are handled beautifully by 'everyday dialogues" with the story told through the teenager's perspective.

The actress has won several awards for the role of the "crazy" mother now, her performance really reminds you of every kind of mothers you know.

A rare, refreshing indie film from Taiwan that touches on LGBTQ issues, you should definitely check it out.
