✓ YES — Watch it
Love Me Tender
2021 · 0h 15m
This is a raw, emotionally gutsy indie drama about trauma and unrequited love that demands a patient, introspective viewer—not a casual Tuesday night watch. Skip it if you want escapism, but YES if you're in the mood for something psychologically unflinching that explores how parental wounds shape our romantic lives.
Plot
The lack of love from the father makes Xiao Man deeply insecure, while his mother does not care about him. Gradually, he grows a resistance to heterosexual relations. Xiao Man yearns for a strong arm, but the middle-aged man he loves is a man with a family. The middle-aged man leaves him, and Xiao Man's mother also leaves him for re-marriage.
