Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
3/4
Double Happiness is not a deep or brilliant film, but that's not its purpose. It establishes a chatty, confiding tone right at the top and follows through, like a long letter from a good friend. Go to Full Review
Farah Cheded A Good Movie To Watch Dec 2, 2023
