Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Sep 12, 2019
[A] sincere, sensitive entry in that niche genre of family drama scenarios involving culinary legacy. Go to Full Review
Elizabeth Kerr The Hollywood Reporter Aug 15, 2019
It would all be treacly, weepy nonsense were Mak not to maintain a light touch, and, especially, if the three leads weren't so engaging. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
Fagara is not only a great return to form for director Heiward Mak; not only it is her best film to date, but it is one of the best Hong Kong films of the year. Go to Full Review
Daniel Eagan Film Legacy Apr 9, 2020
Understated family drama offers uncommonly rich roles for its stars, especially Canto-pop singer Sammi Cheng Sau-man. Go to Full Review
Richard Yu Cinema Escapist Sep 16, 2019

Dec 8, 2019 I laughed & cried. My dad just passed away on 10/8. I had to be strong for my mom who cried her eyes out & needed to cry. This movie helped me grieve & heal. See more
Sep 18, 2019 Loved the movie, brought my mom to watch it with me. It's slow and sweet, gets you to really see the character development and the lives of each of the women to feel an in depth understanding of their daily pains, regrets and struggles. It shows how parent's decisions and actions will impact their children's worldview, the trauma and the struggles to love and be loved. See more
