Critics Sentiment

The film swings from its lowest point during Yau-kit's academic failures to its most devastating and powerful moment with his suicide.
The film maintains strong audience reception throughout, with reviewers consistently praising its sensitive handling of mental health themes and family trauma. While some critics noted heavy-handed messaging in the middle section, the emotional authenticity of key moments, particularly the suicide sequence and father-son reconciliation, elevated the overall experience. The hopeful ending reinforced the film's core message about the importance of communication and presence in preventing tragedy.
