What Shanghai Kiss Is About

Liam Liu is a Chinese American actor in Los Angeles whose auditions keep going nowhere and whose sense of where he comes from is thin at best. A grandmother he never met leaves him a house in Shanghai, and he flies over meaning only to sell it and come straight back. The city declines to stay a transaction. Running alongside that is the film's more uncomfortable thread: Liam, close to thirty, gets involved with Adelaide, a sixteen year old still in high school, and the script frames it as romance rather than looking at it squarely. Worth knowing before you start.
