They say that “blood is thicker than water,” an observation that can manifest in many ways. This often becomes most apparent during times of crisis, such as when a death occurs or an inheritance is involved (money being on the line frequently speaks volumes). So it is in the fourth feature outing from writer-director Ray Yeung, which tells the touching story of long-tenured same-sex couple Angie (Patra Au) and Pat (Maggie Li Lin Lin), a duo very much in love. They’ve lived in the same Hong Kong apartment for 30 years and have enjoyed reasonably good relations with their relatives, most notably Pat’s extended family. However, when Pat unexpectedly dies, matters become complicated, particularly when it comes to recognizing Angie’s status and her relation to her late partner. That includes such issues as deciding the handling of Pat’s remains, as well as the final dispensation of her considerable assets, including those she jointly held with her beloved. Relations suddenly become strained, if not downright ugly, with a woman they’ve long seemed to accept as a member of the family. This is especially apparent when Pat’s relations try to grab all they can in an effort to solve the many fiscal problems that they’ve brought upon themselves. As all of this plays out, viewers thus witness the stark contrast that exists between the loving bond that the couple forged for one another and what Pat’s relatives have created for themselves in their largely failed attempts at making a supposedly healthy and successful family, a comparison deftly and sensitively yet candidly presented by the filmmaker. While this story may not be especially original, its pacing can be a tad slow and its overall handling may at times be a little too deliberate, this picture nevertheless packs quite a powerful emotional punch, superbly depicted in the stellar performances of the excellent ensemble cast, backed by beautiful cinematography and a subdued atmospheric background score. “All Shall Be Well” is, without a doubt, one of 2024’s underrated gems, a film that will both move and incense audiences, particularly when it comes to distinguishing what’s legally permissible and what’s ethically proper, especially in matters of love and what constitutes “family.”
