Pointless Family Drama that Goes Nowhere
The retired rocket scientist Mr. Kun Shi (Henry O) arrives in the United States of America to visit his daughter Yilan (Feihong Yu), who moved twelve years ago from China to America with her husband Keming and now is divorced. Mr. Shi tries to approach to his estranged daughter and expect to help her to find another husband. Meanwhile he befriends an Iranian old lady (Vida Ghahremani) in a park, and despite their language barrier and difficulties, they meet each other everyday. When Mr. Shi sees his daughter with the Russian Boris (Pasha D. Lychnikoff) late night, they finally have a honest conversation with each other.

“A Thousand Years of Good Prayers” is a pointless family drama that goes nowhere. The story has a promising beginning with the encounter of an old Chinese with his estranged daughter and with an Iranian woman, but the plot and subplots are not well resolved and are cold and emotionless. Maybe if I had had a lesser expectation, I could have liked this little film more. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): “Mil Anos de Orações” (“A Thousand Years of Prayers”)

Peaceful & Inspiring
Boy! Just what we need more of in our world today! Such a thoughtful piece. I could almost want to watch it again, now that I’m more familiar with the story and the language barriers. It moves slowly and quietly, murmuring life along its way. I loved it! I don’t want to say anything negative except that a couple of reviews were unduly critical and mean spirited.
