Richard Kuipers

Variety

Only fitfully captures the sassy energy and fearless spirit that made Mui an adored figure who became known as the "Madonna of the East" and the "Daughter of Hong Kong."

Fionnuala Halligan

Screen International

Anita Mui exuded energy from every pore, a combination of brazen insouciance and naked vulnerability. Longman Leung's biopic is a rather more tentative rendition of a fearless person.

Asian Movie Pulse

Anita aptly captures Muis brilliant life of forty years: of excitement, loss, and change, but most importantly of hope.

Rated: 4/5

Some of the minor flaws aside, Anita is no doubt one of the best Hong Kong films I've ever seen this year.
