So Long My Son
Synopsis
At the time of writing, So Long My Son had a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes and it will more than repay your investment of time at KFF.
An epic family saga, it spans the tail-end of the 20th century in China and charts the collective history of both the country's one-child policy and the Cultural Revolution.
Yoajun and Liyun's only son is drowned after being goaded into swimming by their best friend's son. The two families' subsequent and intertwining fortunes are brilliantly and movingly portrayed.

Critics
The film finds, then repeatedly breaks, your heart, before a subtly momentous finale
Jessica Kiang, Variety
So Long, My Son is a piercingly, profoundly moving picture that peels and exposes the senses.
Peter Bradshaw Guardian
A lingering, heart-breaking epic of great subtlety, specificity and ultimately universal power.
Josh Slater-williams, Little White Lies
