Pungently filmed, with a haunting central performance by Tsai as the mother.

RTThe SpectatorDec 2, 2025

It’s one of those films where the stakes don’t appear that high, yet we become so attached to this family and their survival it will all matter a great deal.

RTNew York TimesDec 2, 2025

Expressive visuals and evocative scenes, including one involving an overactive meerkat, make “Left-Handed Girl” a memorable family affair.

...The Left-Handed Girl stands out especially for its inspiring, surprisingly optimistic outlook, its sense of spectacle, and its sense of humor. [Full review in Spanish]
