The idea of this was great: give short films a chance on Netflix. The execution was poor, for the most part. There really wasn't a winner in the bunch. Poor writing sank this project.
I kind of liked some of these, but as an American living abroad as an immigrant (sort of) I thought the shorts with the older Chinese woman and her plight with a young woman boss was lame. Here's an idea: if you're an immigrant, try assimilating. Work harder at learning the language instead of making food for your spoiled son or pining for the homeland.
In a million years I would never fault anyone where I live of discrimination because my Spanish isn't up to par. That's on me. If you aren't comfortable with that, maybe you'd be more comfortable to be back home. No one asked me to come here, and I'm positive no one asked that old broad to emigrate to the USA.
I loved the episode where the mother and daughter both died after falling into the outhouse hole going after a phone. Very poignant.
