Shih-Ching Tsou’s delightful Left-Handed Girl instantly became a favorite. If you’re a fan of co-writer Sean Baker, you can pinpoint the parts that are likely his contribution, but this is a women’s story and distinctly Tsou’s own film.
Janel Tsai, Ma Shih-yuan, and the adorable young actress Nina Yeh portray these three-dimensional characters brilliantly.
It was shot on iPhone, and the camera work and the colors are outstanding. There is not a dull moment in this funny, moving, and joyful film.
