One of Hong Kong's most influential filmmakers, Ann Hui, becomes a “star” for the first time in Man Lim-chung's directorial debut. A forerunner of the New Wave, Hui’s tumultuous, forty-year career is an unequivocal testimony to her unyielding dedication to filmmaking, and her expedition into the metamorphic city. This biopic probes into the acclaimed director’s idiosyncratic world, where we witness her rashness and goofiness, as well as her humanistic concerns for the everyday nobodies which make her films so moving.

Best movie of this year hands down!
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
