Her Story creates a rare and refreshing "light and agile female narrative." It not only dissolves the conventional tragedy and pity often associated with serious journalism, but also demonstrates that people retain the vitality to adapt and maneuver even in times of decline. Presenting female dilemmas with a humorous and witty tone, Shao Yihui injects fresh vitality into contemporary gender discussions—it is truly a good thing, and an innovative one.
张婷 on The Beijing News The movie's punchy dialogue and frank conversations between women make it easy to see why it has taken off. It focuses on the female experience without reducing it to an exhausting, and exhausted, feminist polemic.
Amy Hawkins on The Guardian Beautifully cast down the line, with a terrific lead role for actress Song Jia 宋佳 that she totally makes her own, it took a very nice RMB721 million on release late last year, almost three times the solid hawl of Busy.
