Jury Review:
“Hong Kong cinema is once again having a strong finish to the calendar year, with another socially relevant and heart felt film in “Time Still Turns the Pages” directed and written by the talented Nick Cheuk. The film hits all the right emotional buttons as well as showing difficult moments in a brutal manner that nails you right in the heart and memory. We have all experience some parts of these childhood process in our own lives and in turn all the events that plays out in front of us, provides a catalyst reminder of a moment within our past that we have all buried deep within. This is easily one of the best Hong Kong film in 2023.”

Nick Cheuk (Time Still Turns The Pages)
Jury Review:
“All in all, “Time Still Turns the Pages” manages to bravely show onscreen the real internal and external struggles and difficulties that growing up in an ultra demanding society takes its toil on our children and remains just as relevant today as ever. As we revokes upon our own experiences, whether it is through different forms of inspirations, the film confronts us with plenty of hard hitting truths about ourselves and those around us. Good cinema usually affects us in many unexpected ways and quality cinema brings us into the cinematic journey and in the process goes deeper into our own thinking and questioning. In these aspect, director Nick Cheuk succeeds.”

Jury Review:
“Socially relevant Hong Kong cinema is usually at its best when it depicts true events with real emotions and people. This is precisely what Director Lawrence Kan manages to portray the bleak state of both investigative journalism and atrocious treatment of elderly and disabled in private care homes. Both matters are dealt with quite literally and heads on, as the film is based on true events, making the film with an extra layer of heart felt emotions all the more realistic to endure.”

Rachel Leung (In Broad Daylight)
Jury Review: “
Rachel Leung puts in a career best performance and Henick Chou also performs well as the mentally disabled residents being abused.
All in all, “In Broad Daylight” is an extremely heart wrenching film that shows the level of injustice and pitfalls of a systems that has become corrupted. It also shows that the most vulnerable are usually the ones who suffer the most both in silence and sadness.”

Jury Review:
“Tony Leung gets the meaty role as the criminal mastermind behind it all, from bankruptcy to conman to successful and richest business person. His character carries the film through its layers of happenings and the comic timing makes Leung both menacing and entertaining. This is easily one of the most fun role for Leung in years.”
