I'm a British-born Chinese female film writer based in London. I currently write for VODzilla, Film Stories Magazine, Den of Geek and Flickfeast, for which I am also the Festivals editor. I want to raise awareness about Asian representation in not only mainstream media, but also film criticism, showing that diversity is the way forward in the entertainment industry.

The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 87% 2/5 EDIT “An energetic vision from Fastvold...while Seyfried delivers her best role so far, the music and pacing cause the film to buckle its own ambition. ” – Flick Feast Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 59% 1/5 EDIT “It may encourage audiences to seek out Brontë’s book – and they, in turn, might wonder how it manifested into Fennell’s overindulgent, incoherent and confusing vision.” – Flick Feast Feb 12, 2026 Full Review GOAT (2026) 81% 3/5 EDIT “GOAT offers brightly coloured fun and potential for additional films but in terms of plot, it needs to branch out before it steps back into the court.” – Flick Feast Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Take Me Home (2026) 95% 3/5 EDIT “Take Me Home balances a sobering reality with heartfelt performances, raising awareness of a crisis that needs to be addressed.” – Flick Feast Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Bedford Park (2026) 96% 3/5 EDIT “Despite some pacing issues, Ahn’s Bedford Park is a tender, quiet and sensitive romance that will touch the hearts of audiences, many thanks to the leads’ winsome performances.” – Flick Feast Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 97% 5/5 EDIT “Tense, thoughtful and absorbing, Josephine is impeccable filmmaking. From the considerate visuals to the compelling performances, especially from newcomer Reeves, it is a must-see.” – Flick Feast Feb 1, 2026 Full Review Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! (2026) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Despite some tonal inconsistencies, Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! is a surprising, joy-filled crowdpleaser with a limelight-stealing performance from Kikuchi.” – Flick Feast Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Extra Geography (2026) 100% 3/5 EDIT “A melee of solid debuts, from acting to direction, Extra Geography offers a clear direction and honesty in showing how BFFs are not always forever, bringing a rare realism in British teen comedies that cannot be ignored.” – Flick Feast Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Scarlet (2025) 73% 2/5 EDIT “Hosoda’s Scarlet is an incredibly beautiful adventure that unfortunately buckles under the pressure in its complex take on Hamlet.” – Movie Marker Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Another World (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Chung’s debut feature is a bold yet beautifully animated adventure but despite its occasional moments of darkness, it dares to delve deep into the heart of humanity.” – Flick Feast Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “In her most raw and powerful film, Zhao's adaptation of Hamnet is a simplistic yet tragic tale that radiates from the beauty of its visuals and the force of its cast.” – Flick Feast Jan 4, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Safdie’s endeavour as a solo director is a nerve-shredding tale that never lets up on the protagonist’s goals, with Chalamet delivering his most compelling performance to date. As 2025 nears its end, Marty Supreme is a highlight in the cinematic calendar.” – Flick Feast Dec 4, 2025 Full Review The Stringer: The Man Who Took the Photo (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Nguyen provides the stage and empowerment for someone who needed to tell his story, and the result is captivating, insightful and provocative.” – Flick Feast Nov 28, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Among Disney's better animated sequels in recent years. Sharp, funny and incredibly fluffy, let's hope audiences don't have to wait almost a decade for another Hopps and Wilde adventure.” – Flick Feast Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 4/5 EDIT “With Wicked: For Good, Chu reaffirms himself as a master of musicals – this spectacular sequel brings the tale to a fitting end of a cinematic triumph, with Erivo and Grande-Butera surely securing nominations in the upcoming awards season.” – Movie Marker Nov 18, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 3/5 EDIT “As an adaptation, Wright’s faithfulness to King’s novel creates a striking world that allows Powell to continue shining as Hollywood’s latest action star.” – Flick Feast Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Left-Handed Girl (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “Tsou’s labour of love is a captivating piece of work. A showcase of girl power in front of and behind the camera, Left-Handed Girl is a heartfelt and inspiring tale amid a flurry of colour.” – Movie Marker Oct 19, 2025 Full Review 100 Nights of Hero (2025) 68% 4/5 EDIT “Gorgeous, funny and poignant, Jackman's creative vision of Greenberg's graphic novel is a feast for the eyes. Along with its delightful cast, captivating story and its feminist themes, 100 Nights of Hero is more than your average folk tale adaptation.” – Flick Feast Oct 19, 2025 Full Review Pillion (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “A stellar directorial debut feature for Lighton. Funny, sexy and occasionally surprising, Melling and Skarsgård shine in a tale about finding what works in a relationship - and opening your eyes to something different. ” – Flick Feast Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Twisted in tone but skilfully executed, Die, My Love marks a fierce return for both Ramsey and Lawrence, with its discomfort lingering long past the credits.” – Flick Feast Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Rental Family is only Hikari’s second directorial feature but Fraser’s gentle performance and the screenplay’s light humour shape this heartwarming tale into a guaranteed crowdpleaser.” – Flick Feast Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “A humorous yet touching tale about refinding love after a tough break-up, with Arnett and Dern on top form.” – Flick Feast Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Exuding confidence in a modernised vision, Hedda's (girl) power comes from DaCosta's creativity and Thompson's powerhouse performance with its unapologetic viciousness shaping the eponymous character as a modern anti-villainess.” – Flick Feast Oct 12, 2025 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% 5/5 EDIT “Powerful, heart-wrenching and compelling filmmaking. Through her sensitive direction, Ben Hania brings heart, tension and fear to the screen to a story that needs to be told.” – Flick Feast Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Ballad of a Small Player (2025) 49% 3/5 EDIT “Berger's adaptation suffers from some inconsistencies in terms of tone and pacing but allows Farrell to deliver a strong, multi-layered performance.” – Flick Feast Oct 10, 2025 Full Review
