'Rosemead' Review: Lucy Liu Stars in Heartbreaking True-Crime Drama

A mother's love is both protective and tender. Films like Bong Joon Ho's Mother, Lynne Ramsay's We Need to Talk About Kevin and Jennifer Kent's The Babadookexplore the complexity of these relationships, dismantling the generalized, one-dimensional view of a mother-child bond with nuance and empathy for the primal urges on display. Like those films. Eric Lin's feature directorial debut Rosemead obliterates maternal stereotypes while telling a gut-wrenching and utterly unthinkable true tale.
