Richard Kuipers Variety Jia and Zhang and a fine support cast carry out these shenanigans with an appealing energy that helps smooth things over when the screenplay occasionally stumbles into clunky plotting, super-corny dialogue and scenes that drag on for too long. Apr 6, 2021 Full Review John Lui The Straits Times (Singapore) The film features a number of these tightly-written skits, performed by a cast whose easy rapport is obvious. Rated: 4/5 May 12, 2021 Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post Full credit to Jia, who has pulled off a major cinematic victory with Hi, Mom, which she caps with a climactic revelation that will ensure there isn't a dry eye in the house. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 6, 2021 Full Review Jeanmarie Tan The New Paper (Singapore) Hi, Mom successfully balances the slapstick and the sentimental, with a plot twist that will break your heart and make you want to call or hug your mum after the screening. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 5, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Fong Kok Hoong F Jia Ling's directorial debut is a tremendously emotional eulogy for her deceased mother with this tearjerker about a disappointing daughter in an alternative universe with her mother at a younger age and making amends by going all out to alter her mother's destiny for the better. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review R 9 Too long, but very sweet. 'Hi, Mom' is a film that holds a lot of heart thanks to how serious it can get plot-wise, though as well manages to blend in a fair amount of comedy too - the language barrier on my part does probably hamper it slightly as you'd expect, but even I got some chuckles out of it. Jia Ling (also writer, director) is front and centre throughout and puts in a good performance, the latter also goes for Zhang Xiaofei, Shen Teng and, in a smaller display, Liu Jia. As noted at the top, I did find the run time to be overcooked; not convinced this needed to be 2 hours in length, personally. That's my only real criticism though. The score is well done, some bits kept reminding me of the music from 'Toy Story 2' for some odd reason. Not that that's a bad thing, nor is the film itself. I had a positive time watching it and that's all you can ask, really. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review Dui K Great movies always touch the deepest of your heart . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/23 Full Review Meraki K This was so unbelievably beautiful it's one of my favorite movies now. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
