Movie Haiku:4 women emigrate from China, becoming friends in San Francisco. Each has a daughter who comes of age during the height of the women's movement in the '70's. Shame on Hollywood: 8 superlative performances & not a single Oscar nomination? We nominate Kieu Chinh & France Nuyen. Bring Kleenex!
