John Doyle Globe and Mail 10/09/2020
This is a fascinating but frustrating documentary to watch. Buried beneath its surface is the fabulous and tragic story of a store, a culture and a city's soul. Go to Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row 11/19/2020
A wonderful document of a place that one hopes time won't forget, including archival footage of the early days of the store and a sense of what it's meant to immigrants, including Wei's family. Go to Full Review Pat Mullen POV Magazine 10/21/2020
This story should touch every Torontonian, and perhaps every resident of a thriving metropolis who worries about how much longer they can hang on to their home. Go to Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate 10/09/2020
