About this movie

A prize winner at the Sundance Film Festival, LILTING finds acclaimed actors Ben Whishaw (SKYFALL) and Cheng Pei Pei (CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON) connecting through a translator who helps them figure out the shared bond between them and how to recuperate from loss. A touching and at times amusing look at the ways we communicate when we don't share a common language, but share a common love. LILTING is a tale of healing and understanding.

Ratings and reviews

I think this is one of the best sad movies I've ever seen. Brilliantly made, from the music and atmosphere that's created in each scene, to the writing. Ben Whishaw continues to be my favorite actor, and Cheng Pei-Pei is a damn good actress. I usually hate subtitles, but the few scenes that have them are totally manageable. Cannot suggest this movie enough.

I never thought this movie was going 2b good but the acting was good. There were funny and sad parts and a good plot.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. A story that captures love and struggle.
