« In shots in between their stories [in No Crying at the Dinner Table], we watch the family members go about small tasks—[Carol] Nguyen's mother soaks bok choy and prepares a whole mackerel for cooking, her father lights incense, and her sister soaks in a bath. These quiet moments evoke the way memories arise during moments of quotidian repetition, and the strangeness of mundane life continuing after tragedy. »
