Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times The same nonprofit produced the musical and the documentary, so a self-congratulatory air permeates the movie. Sep 3, 2015 Full Review Helen T. Verongos New York Times There are few feelings as glorious as spreading your wings onstage for the first time. Ruby Yang captures that rare electricity in her documentary "My Voice, My Life," about Hong Kong teenagers who put on a show. Aug 27, 2015 Full Review Ernest Hardy Village Voice Damn if a few of the kids don't milk your tear ducts at the end. Aug 25, 2015 Full Review Joe Bendel Epoch Times Voice gives us reason to suspect there is much more to come from its subjects. Rated: 3.5/5 May 19, 2016 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews With a number of flaws, especially any explanation of the backgrounds of the adults who produced the musical or what the musical was about, it is redeemed by the human interest of Hong Kong's "troubled" teens. Jan 10, 2016 Full Review Kam Williams Baret News Underprivileged overachievers mount a musical production in Hong Kong's answer to 'Fame.' Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 1, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
