It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I remember one line in the movie: the girl said, "I want to grow up, and be a useful person (in the society / the world)." I have been in US for close to 30 years, and I found that most of my actions, decisions, were geared towards money. And I felt some kind of loneliness and helplessness, as if there is no use or no meaning in life, and I actually stopped moving forward. The lady in the film did this to help the kids and hope that the school doesn't get closed down, and she also said to a guy who planned to "monetize" the kindergarten after-school education market, "are you doing finance, or are you doing the work of an educator?" So I got to rethink my life, and what I will do. This is a well made movie and made me rethink about life.

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.

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.

Little Big Master is an extremely touching movie. This movie talks about a kindergarten in countryside Yuen Long that is about to close down due to the lack of students and teachers. However, an extremely kind-hearted headmistress (Yeung Chin-Wah) decides to take on the role of headmistress at this small school for a salary of only $4500 where there are only 5 students attending. She is a really good mentor and visits these children's families and eventually befriends their parents. Each of these children have different stories that are very meaningful. Although these kids are still in kindergarten, they love their parents very much and do their best to take care of them. The heart of this teacher and the little kids touched me very much. Meanwhile, many people are paying money to bet that the school will be shut down, but she continues her job and won't let other people bring her down. Overall, this is a very touching movie that will touch the hearts of viewers. Headmistress Lui teaches the little kids to pursue their dreams in the future.
