Adam Nayman Sight & Sound That Left-Handed Girl still works as well as it does in spite of its schematism is a testament to Tsou’s skill at working with her actors, all of whom are excellent -- especially Ye. Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times As a lighthearted character study and a vibrant advertisement for its home city it could scarcely be bettered. The place looks hectic and occasionally dangerous but always thrilling. Rated: 4/5 May 24, 2025 Full Review Carlos Aguilar The Playlist Though a tad overambitious given all the threads that it partially unspools, some of which are only hinted at here, “Left-Handed Girl” effectively reintroduces Tsou as a fully-fledged writer-director... Rated: B+ May 16, 2025 Full Review Katie Smith-Wong Movie Marker Tsou’s labour of love is a captivating piece of work. A showcase of girl power in front of and behind the camera, Left-Handed Girl is a heartfelt and inspiring tale amid a flurry of colour. Rated: 4/5 Oct 19, 2025 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Film Festival Today The result is a fresh take on the age-old exploration of family and relationships, moving to its core. Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Alistair Ryder The Film Stage A simple but striking drama about growing up in a family living paycheck-to-paycheck. Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
