How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, out now, Netflix
In the wrong hands, this Thai film about relatives vying for an inheritance could have become a crass caper. But Pat Boonnitipat shuns the pratfalls for a sensitive drama about the meaning of family. Young layabout M (Putthipong Assaratanakul) decides that being the live-in carer for his terminally ill grandmother, Mengju (Usha Seamkhum) is the best route to a mention in her will. But while he fends off potential competitors in his two uncles, he finds himself actually caring about her – while the clear-eyed Mengju understands much more than she lets on. Simon Wardell
