      Audience Member Great content, great ators and actresses, wonderful performance, Leslie is so handsome! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member my review: http://wp.me/p1eXom-22S Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely loved it! Gender-bender at it's finest. Hilarious and adorable all the the same time. Characters are quirky and endearing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member A popular gender-bending romance with light comedy and agnostic sexuality "He's a Woman, She's a Man" oddly enough treats its subject matter with kid gloves, especially given the industry it was produced in. Anita Yuen, who received further accolades for her role as a tomboy passing herself off as a man, almost gets away with the whole charade, but every time the camera frames her in a close-up -- the jig is up, so to speak. For a film with eight writers (including star Leslie Cheung) "He's a Woman, She's a Man" is fairly grounded but when the final chapter takes a turn for the serious what preceded it feels like sopping wet kitsch. You are left with the impression the film acted as a form of primal therapy to Cheung, a bisexual, who the media often mischaracterized as a homosexual, as he is seen yelling numerous times "I am not gay!" Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member one of the best films ever Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Moments of good, but overall, just terrible.
