‘Montages of a Modern Motherhood’ Review: Chinese Drama Paints a Harrowing but Sensitive Portrait of New Parenthood

The film, directed by Chan Oliver Siu Kuen (known for “Still Human“), focuses on a new mother struggling with the emotional and physical challenges of caring for her newborn daughter, and the portrayal is quite distressing.
