Catherine Bray Guardian As a document of a physical transformation, the film delivers. As a comedy or romance, not so much. Rated: 2/5 Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Mark Schilling Japan Times “YOLO” is a winner of a film: You come out energized and ready to land a punch on life, belly fat included. Rated: 4/5 Jul 8, 2024 Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post A remake of Masaharu Take’s 100 Yen Love (2014), for which Sakura Ando won the Japanese Academy Award for best actress, Jia’s adaptation files down the rougher edges of its predecessor, but her transformative performance is worthy of praise. Rated: 3/5 May 9, 2024 Full Review Katie Smith-Wong Flick Feast YOLO shows how someone can win in more ways than one...this quietly inspiring dramedy hits all the right marks while Jia Ling deserves extra praise for writing, directing, starring in and preparing for this feature - give this lady a medal. Rated: 3/5 Apr 3, 2024 Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment Yes, the boxing element is a vital part of the narrative, but at two+ hours, a good amount of drama unfolds, with scattered bits of comedy throughout. It’s pretty involving...director/star Jia Ling fully invests in the process for this film. Rated: 7/10 Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views Who expected that the next Rocky or Creed film would be an unrelated sidequel with a Chinese woman as the protagonist and lots of comedy? “Yolo” may initially seem predictable, but there are numerous twists and turns Mar 24, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

CD The story is from a Japan book while the screen writing is very relatable to anyone grew up in China, or no! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Yulong T This one of the best movies I saw this year. Highly recommended. If you are feeling down about your life, this movie will change you perspective. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Lynn To be honest, the story was just fine. Not much about the movie itself but just about losing weight If LeYing could fight back to the people who had hurt her, that would be a better ending I think. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Yonghong very inspiring! Must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review LS I watched this movie twice! Love it so much....super inspiring it is not really about losing weight or boxing. It is more about how to love yourself. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review Yu S I like the movie, which touches my heart deeply. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
