Maggie Li Lin Lin and Patra Au in All Shall Be Well
Making breakfast. Going to the flower shop. Decorating the house for a holiday. On their own, these things may seem mundane — not at all movie-worthy. However, Ray Yeung’s All Shall Be Well captures these actions in a way that makes them feel not just compelling but necessary, giving depth, humanity, and a spotlight to characters who rarely ever get one.
‘All Shall Be Well’s Central Couple Is Quietly Groundbreaking It’s sadly uncommon to see characters like Pat and Angie at the forefront of films. Female protagonists are already rarer than they should be — add in their queerness and the fact that they’re over 60, and the deck is firmly stacked against them in terms of representation.
While the film is ultimately about loss and seeing Angie learn to heal from Pat’s death, Yeung smartly invests a decent portion of time establishing their relationship and making us care about the couple — an especially impressive achievement considering the film runs only slightly over 90 minutes. There’s a lived-in ease to their dynamic and a surprising amount of humor as well.
