Taiwan-France 2025 | Shih-Ching Tsou | vostEN | 108' | digital
Cast: Janel Tsai, Shih-Yuan Ma, Nina Ye
Festival de Cannes 2025
A single mother and her two daughters relocate to Taipei to open a night market stall, each navigating the challenges of adapting to their new environment while striving to maintain family unity.
“Left-Handed Girl is an assured and lovely portrait of difficult motherhood and painful daughterhood, but it’s perhaps most entrancing for its turning-kaleidoscope-view of the director’s native city, where the characters are the bouncing beads, but Taipei is the glitter and the dazzle.” (Variety)
“It’s one of those films where the stakes don’t appear that high, yet we become so attached to this family and their survival it will all matter a great deal.” (The Spectator)
“More than 20 years after co-directing Take Out with Sean Baker, Tsou, who has produced many of the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s projects, returns behind the camera to helm a modest and entertaining story about three generations of women making their way in contemporary Taipei. The strengths of this slender film, which Tsou co-wrote with Baker, stem from its authentic rendition of daily life in a bustling metropolis.” (The Hollywood Reporter)
