As a document of a physical transformation, the film delivers. As a comedy or romance, not so much.

“YOLO” is a winner of a film: You come out energized and ready to land a punch on life, belly fat included.

3/5

A remake of Masaharu Take’s 100 Yen Love (2014), for which Sakura Ando won the Japanese Academy Award for best actress, Jia’s adaptation files down the rougher edges of its predecessor, but her transformative performance is worthy of praise.

YOLO shows how someone can win in more ways than one...this quietly inspiring dramedy hits all the right marks while Jia Ling deserves extra praise for writing, directing, starring in and preparing for this feature - give this lady a medal.

7/10

Yes, the boxing element is a vital part of the narrative, but at two+ hours, a good amount of drama unfolds, with scattered bits of comedy throughout. It’s pretty involving...director/star Jia Ling fully invests in the process for this film.

Who expected that the next Rocky or Creed film would be an unrelated sidequel with a Chinese woman as the protagonist and lots of comedy? “Yolo” may initially seem predictable, but there are numerous twists and turns

The story is from a Japan book while the screen writing is very relatable to anyone grew up in China, or no!

To be honest, the story was just fine. Not much about the movie itself but just about losing weight If LeYing could fight back to the people who had hurt her, that would be a better ending I think.

I watched this movie twice! Love it so much....super inspiring it is not really about losing weight or boxing. It is more about how to love yourself.
