Top score: direction, message (9)

Lulu Wang knows how to make it intense right from the start!
Common themes to her two features: lying about death, for business in “Posthumus”, to spare pain to a loved one in “The Farewell” / Another more hidden theme is the question of being happy or being successful
“The Farewell” gives a powerful echo to this first feature
