Master Cheng (2019)
9/10
A Hidden Gem
4 January 2022
I had never heard of this movie before I watched it, as I stumbled across it by accident while browsing Netflix. The description didn't reveal much about the plot, but I decided to give it a try - and I'm so glad I did.

This is a delightful movie: funny, moving and heartwarming. "Mestari Cheng" is an entertaining feel-good movie, still it has plenty of depth. It will possibly make you tear up once or twice, while causing you to laugh out loud at other parts. The acting performances are solid and the scenery is stunning.

"Mestari Cheng" provides a completely new way of looking at international (Finnish-Chinese) relations and culture clashes. It is not like anything I have ever watched before, yet it is brilliant. This film definitely deserves more recognition. Do yourself a favour and watch it!
