      James Mudge easternKicks.com While it has its flaws, A Very Short Life is an honest attempt to tackle a difficult subject in a surprisingly non-exploitative manner and one which generally succeeds Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 21, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      WS W Looks as if there was not enough materials sticking into this less than 90 minutes piece. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/08/16 Full Review Derek J the feeling my girl and i got from watching this is just plain disgust and too extreme. of course, the subject matter is very tragic and there is a rare chance it would occur in real life. still, it could be told in a more well-rounded manner. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/26/10 Full Review Tonya V Too drawn out. I don't think I want to ever be interrogated in Hong Kong! Sad story of a mom not knowing any better and not protecting her daughter. That guy would have been dead if it had been me. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/09 Full Review Kan T As a small budget production, it's quite an outstanding film... simple story well told... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/09 Full Review Robbie T Dull, horribly dull. The subject is interesting, but Dennis Law couldn't handle it well. Script, dialogue, direction, music, editing are all way below average. The 2 main actresses (Leila Tong and Maggie Siu) are okay, but the rest of the cast are poorly acted. Also, Cheung siu Fai and Hui Siu Hung's part is absolutely unncessary. Looks like Dennis Law found the movie was terribly underrun, and then he added these 2 actors to fill up the running time.
