John Doyle Globe and Mail 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. Oct 9, 2020 Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row 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. Nov 19, 2020 Full Review Pat Mullen POV Magazine 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. Oct 21, 2020 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate Wei has created a great look at what it's like for an entire block to be stuck in a state of suspended animation for several years.
