Aparita Bhandari Globe and Mail It's also fascinating to see how Ma has incorporated fantastical elements of Xiaoli's troupe's performance into an otherwise realistic film about working class artists. Rated: 3/4 Apr 1, 2020 Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety Zhao makes the transition from heavily painted, ornamented, and arcanely codified stage performer to subtle, natural, and wholly heartbreaking screen presence with exceptional grace. May 27, 2019 Full Review Clarence Tsui The Hollywood Reporter A heartrending account of one person's increasingly frantic but ultimately futile efforts to bring back the glory days that have long receded into the past. May 21, 2019 Full Review Andrew Heskins easternKicks.com Johnny Ma's (Old Stone) flawed but entertaining tribute to Sichuan opera Rated: 3/5 Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Chris Knight National Post It's a wonderful moment of connection. Rated: 4/5 Mar 27, 2020 Full Review Pat Mullen That Shelf The stakes are real in To Live to Sing and this power resonates in each frame. Mar 24, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
