As the directorial work of comedy actress Jia Ling, the film is adapted
from her 2016 sketch comedy of the same title. The film reflects on how she misses
her late mother Li Huanying, who encouraged Jia to pursue her artistic dreams.
Interestingly, the way that Jia showcases her filial piety(孝心) is a bit special as she fictionalizes a time-travel
story to tell her mother's love story set in 1981.
The sudden shakeup reflects the extent to which Hi, Mom has become
China's clear favorite among the Lunar New Year offerings. Written, directed by
and co-starring female filmmaker Jia Ling, Hi, Mom has received the best user review
ratings by far of the seven films currently on release.
Thanks to Hi, Mom's powerful performance to date, Jia is already China's
most commercially successful female filmmaker ever.
China's New Year box office tends to reward titles with broad family
appeal — and a little sadness rarely hurts. Hi, Mom appears to have hit all the
right notes.
Hi, Mom should end up just over $400 million tonight. Where the film
end up is an open question, but "above $750 million" seems to be pretty
likely.
If Hi, Mom ends up above the $821 million global cume of Patty Jenkins'
Wonder Woman, it'll be the biggest grossing movie ever by a solo female director.
