A paralyzed man and his Filipino domestic worker learn about each other as they go about life in Hong Kong.

Fionnuala Halligan

Screen International

This story about a disabled man and his Filipina maid may superficially look like a re-tread of French hit Intouchables, but Chan's deft writing and a strong local flavour make this a real Hong Kong treat.

The Hollywood Reporter

Frankly sentimental and sometimes outright implausible, Oliver Siu Kuen Chan's feature debut nonetheless charms with winning performances...

Casey's Movie Mania

[Anthony] Wong's perfectly restrained performance as Cheong-Wing is both sympathetic and at times, display a right sense of humour.

Rated: 4/5

Cinema Escapist

Not only a heartfelt and genuine portrayal of a Filipino domestic helper's story, but also a tribute to those who refuse to stop chasing their dreams.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Director Oliver Siu Kuen Chan's debut feature is the epitome of the genuinely genteel washing crassness away.

Rated: 4/5

South China Morning Post

Still Human is one of those rare gems of a film which takes a distinctly Hong Kong scenario and turns it into a gently comical drama with universal appeal.

Rated: 3.5/5

I loved this movie. Gentle, funny and poignant. Having lived in Hong Kong for 12 years the locations were familiar as were the circumstances all these characters found themselves in. An absolute delight of a movie.

A movie that is very close to HK flavor. Everyone may got a dream, while the dream may be big, or small. While there are many obstacles for the dream come true.
