Still Human

This story about a disabled man and his Filipina maid may superficially look like a re-tread of French hit Intouchables, but Chan's deft writing and a strong local flavour make this a real Hong Kong treat.

Frankly sentimental and sometimes outright implausible, Oliver Siu Kuen Chan's feature debut nonetheless charms with winning performances...

[Anthony] Wong's perfectly restrained performance as Cheong-Wing is both sympathetic and at times, display a right sense of humour.

Not only a heartfelt and genuine portrayal of a Filipino domestic helper's story, but also a tribute to those who refuse to stop chasing their dreams.

Director Oliver Siu Kuen Chan's debut feature is the epitome of the genuinely genteel washing crassness away.

Still Human is one of those rare gems of a film which takes a distinctly Hong Kong scenario and turns it into a gently comical drama with universal appeal.
