The long shot of Reiko Kobayakawa slamming out of the door can be described as the crowning touch of the whole Sonata of Return to Light. The door that has trapped Reiko Kobayakawa for a long time also has various functions and metaphors. This goalkeeper will be a door that will be knocked down in the life of every audience who has a voice for this movie.
Of course, the theme of this Taiwan Province provincial literary film is not inspirational chicken soup. It has injected the gentle and sharp eyes of the elderly into the film market full of youth films and small fresh meat. After all, "the backlight of youth" is just an unsustainable moment. When Reiko Kobayakawa put on her makeup, new skirt and stilettos, she happily looked forward to an adventure. The unexpected encounter with her daughter turned her back into the prototype of menopausal women, waking up from a dream and only fleeing in a mess. It seems that what you can really grasp and retrieve in youth is not material and appearance, but some kind of mood and emotion. When a strange man in a hospital bed holds Reiko Kobayakawa's hand, youth connects them like electricity. (Netease Entertainment, Hong Kong News Network Evaluation)
