South China Morning Post

A frothy, somewhat disposable, but emotionally rewarding caper about second chances and living life to the fullest.

Rated: 4/5

Asian Movie Pulse

“Ajoomma” is a very heart-warming film, quite easy to watch, and one that manages to remain entertaining throughout, even achieving that through a protagonist whose age deemed such a feat quite difficult.

Rated: 7

CJ Sheu

The News Lens International

Co-written by director He Shuming with Kris Ong, it’s a farcical road trip drama where it seems like anything (but mostly bad stuff) can happen, though by the end little sticks in the mind.

John Lui

The Straits Times (Singapore)

Despite tonal inconsistencies, this is an enjoyable story of a woman who travels to the land of K-drama only to find herself involved in a real-life drama.

Rated: 3/5

While much of Auntie Lim’s journey may follow a familiar thematic path, its culmination is no less empowering for that.

I loved it. Excellent acting and very sweet story. The ending is a bit weird I thought and could have been more satisfying.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
