At the heart of Dear You is a hardworking father who spends years away from home to support his family. The grandson’s trip to Thailand gives Dear You its sense of movement and discovery, but the real destination is the truth about his family. What makes Dear You effective is its simplicity. Much of its impact comes from the gradual realization that a family can love one another deeply while still failing to understand each other’s choices. For me, that is what makes Dear You stand out.
