My mom once said to us "Please kill me if I turned out to be like her".
Anthony Wong actually did this for 0 pay which I mean, what a guy.
Also quite nice to see how a film about immigrant workers and their treatment in Hong Kong ends up being a very heart-warming, feel-good kind of film.

Frankly sentimental and sometimes outright implausible, Oliver Siu Kuen Chan’s feature debut nonetheless charms with winning performances from Hong Kong vet Anthony Wong (Infernal Affairs) and Filipina newcomer Crisel Consunji, assuring further attention on the international festival circuit, if not another redo. Things turn around once he discovers Evelyn’s dream of becoming a photographer and Leung begins to soften up, inexplicably determined to support her artistic ambitions. TWITTER
Report this film. Director does surprised everyone with her first piece of work, not to mention Anthony Wong work for free just to help new directors to pursue her career. “Still Human” is one of those movies that’s more important than it is good.

Chan delivers a film that goes beyond the tropes too often present with these kind of films and shows grace and humanity in her depiction of some of Hong Kong's most othered peoples - the disabled and immigrant maids/home carers.

Di dalam kondisi apa dan bagaimana setiap manusia pasti mempunyai impian, suka sekali relasi yang dibangun antara Evelyn dan Cheong Win yang dibalut dengan sederhana, walaupun di awal keduanya terlihat canggung perlahan tapi pasti membuat babak belur untuk menahan tangis serta tawa.
