Netflix is now streaming a coming-of-age drama that viewers say is one of the most emotional movies ever.
Originally released in 2024, How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies is now available for subscribers to stream at no extra cost.
The Thai-language drama follows M, a young man who moves in with his terminally ill grandmother under the pretence that he wants to take care of her. His real scheme is to win her over while she is still alive, in order to inherit her multi-million fortune.
Unfortunately for him, winning his grandmother’s favour proves to be difficult and there are other family members also hoping to bag the inheritance.
Through its simple storyline, the drama explores poignant themes such as familial love, greed and the woes of aging.
Actor Putthipong Assaratanakul leads the cast as M, with Usha Seamkhum playing his grandma, Amah. The duo stars alongside Sanya Kunakorn (Double Savage), Sarinrat Thomas (The Impossible) and Pongsatorn Jongwilas (The Adventures).
Directed by Pat Boonnitipat, who also helmed the 2020 crime drama Bad Genius, the film boasts a near-perfect 98 percent Rotten Tomatoes Score.
Critics on the platform have praised the flick as “a comedy of generational manners that blossoms into a sweet tearjerker.”
Audiences on the website similarly rave about the drama’s emotional impact, with one person writing: “Never cried so much with a movie. Beautiful script and acting.”
A second viewer shared their own verdict, stating: “Absolutely beautiful and brilliantly casted. Can’t stop thinking about this film. Really lives up to the reviews and the emotion scenes are so well acted- it’s a must see.”
Yet another fan vouched for how moving the drama is, penning: “I watched this film on New Year’s Eve 2024 and it ended up being the best film of the year for me.
“It’s been a long time since I have been this moved by a film… It was absolutely perfect. Such a uniquely beautiful story, yet relatable in so many ways.”
Over on social media, one viewer said: “This was one of the most emotional yet heart-warming movies I’ve ever watched in my life.”
