The life of Anita Mui, chronicling her journey from a child performer to becoming one of world's most recognized music icons.

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."

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.

4/5

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

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.

4/5

A simultaneously uplifting and mournful portrait of a true Hong Kong icon who earned her place through a combination of sheer will power and unbridled compassion.

It’s a “pretty woman” copy. But 10 times worse. A Sex scene every 10 min.( Come on, write something creative).

As a biography, it tells a very good story of Anita's life - given that you've known a bit more about her life beforehand in order to understand some of the references in the movie. For those who don't know her well enough (e.g. the critics who gave bad reviews), you're better off watching the TV series of this covering more details in 5 episodes.
