    'Tear Gas' film - genuine. Not to to missed.

    A 'tear gas' movie as local has it described.

    Most touching - very basic, human and genuine.

    No fancy dressing. Have not seen a true story turned into a 2-hour film that touch all that watch it. It provides an opportunity for all to let go the emotion in a cinema - much better than an expensive medical therapy.

    Superb acting on the parts of the 5 child actresses, especially Kai Kai.Temporarily keep us all away from this troubling world in this brief 2-hour.

    Many congratulations to all in the making of this film. All have shown great passion and good heart.

    Immense love. Hats off to Ms Lui, the real headmistress; she has a big heart. Wish you well with her own Thyroid treatment

    Must see.

    Perfect!

    It is rare these days to find a movie that really grabs my attention, this movie did it! From the start to the end, it kept my on my feet and it actually made me sob. One of the best movies I have seen, highly recommending it to all people of all ages. A true inspiration. Love movies that leave you feeling like this. I am a grown 34 year old man and I have seen so many movies in my life. I usually have a good judgment and figure out how movies will turn out especially towards the end. But not this movie! I wanted to see every scene. I felt like I was a child again. Curious about stories and what was going to happen. One of my favorite films ever. We need to make more movies like this. God bless all the people that made this happen and thank you for sharing it to the world.

    True educator

    Based on a true story, Yang acts as a kindergarten of a nearly bankrupt school. She tries her best to save the school and is successful to protect it from closing down. The small child actors are cute and lovely. Yang's acting is not very impressive, but gets a passing rate. We need more of this positive story to boost the spirit of our society. Hope more of this type of plots are coming.

    Absolutely ten, ten.

    This movie really pull on your heartstrings. All the different relationships from parents to kids, husband to wife and headmistress to the kids is really genuine and warm. All the actors excel in this movie especially the little girls. I bought this movie because I was a Louis Koo fanboi, and I got more than I bargain for. A real tearjerker I recommend this movie to all species fo all ages.
