Only fitfully captures the sassy energy and fearless spirit that made Mui an adored figure who became known as the "Madonna of the East" and the "Daughter of Hong Kong."

Anita Mui exuded energy from every pore, a combination of brazen insouciance and naked vulnerability. Longman Leung's biopic is a rather more tentative rendition of a fearless person.

Anita aptly captures Muis brilliant life of forty years: of excitement, loss, and change, but most importantly of hope.

Model-actress Louise Wong makes her acting debut in this biopic that looks at how Mui Yim Fong became Cantopop legend Anita Mui.
