Left-Handed Girl
Left-Handed Girl
Taiwan’s official Oscar submission for the 2026 Academy Awards awards, which comes from the writer-director of last year’s Oscar winner Anora, Left-Handed Girl captures the story of a single mother who returns to Taipei from the countryside, only to face old-world tensions as her grandfather refers to her 5-year-old I-Jing’s preferred hand as “the devil.” Much of the story unfolds through the eyes of I-Jing, and her innocent narration contrasts with the harsher realities of the family’s struggle for survival as secrets being to unravel. From The Guardian’s Tammy Tarng: “Tsou and Baker’s script sharply examines what it really means to lose face: which shames are noble, which are indulgent, and what should be passed from one generation to the next?” (Read the review)
