[A] sincere, sensitive entry in that niche genre of family drama scenarios involving culinary legacy.

It would all be treacly, weepy nonsense were Mak not to maintain a light touch, and, especially, if the three leads weren't so engaging.

Their Own League

Fagara is not only a great return to form for director Heiward Mak; not only it is her best film to date, but it is one of the best Hong Kong films of the year.

Rated: 4.5/5

Film Legacy

Understated family drama offers uncommonly rich roles for its stars, especially Canto-pop singer Sammi Cheng Sau-man.

Cinema Escapist

Even though Fagara doesn't overtly promote "One China," it ultimately reinforces the message that the components of the Greater Chinese community share a lot of similarities rather than differences.

I laughed & cried. My dad just passed away on 10/8. I had to be strong for my mom who cried her eyes out & needed to cry. This movie helped me grieve & heal.

Loved the movie, brought my mom to watch it with me. It's slow and sweet, gets you to really see the character development and the lives of each of the women to feel an in depth understanding of their daily pains, regrets and struggles. It shows how parent's decisions and actions will impact their children's worldview, the trauma and the struggles to love and be loved.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
