Fagara film review: Sammi Cheng stars in exquisite family drama – one of 2019’s best Hong Kong films

  • Adapted from a 2010 novel by popular romance author Amy Cheung, the film is a touching and quietly poignant reflection on the importance of family ties
  • It’s an astonishingly assured return to form for director Heiward Mak, and already a front-runner for next year’s Hong Kong Film Awards
