Denise Ho: Becoming the Song offers an affecting timeline of a political awakening of a person, of a movement, and of a generation utterly frustrated with the machinations of oppression.

New York Times

The film does an excellent job of introducing the pop star to unfamiliar audiences, contextualizing her activism and, more broadly, examining the role art can play in shaping our beliefs.

The movie doesn't portray her as a martyr but as someone who understands that her political activism has come with a cost to a lot of comforts that she previously had.
