What People are Saying

• There were so many beautiful, heartfelt moments that moved everyone in the audience. More people need to see the film!
  — Boo Junfeng, filmmaker
• Because this is what true gracious storytelling is about - opens a door into someone's world, invites you to see through their eyes, to sit with them through the good and the bad and everything in between that makes us human - it's a privilege.
  — Jasmine Ng, filmmaker
• It’s very rare when after watching a movie, one does not know how to respond. The mind was a flurry of thoughts, emotions, struggles, anguish but all of it with a sense of rejoice for who I saw on the screen.

• I hope that you’ll give the film a watch if you’re a trans person, or in a relationship with someone who is transgender, as it really brings up a lot of talking points about the issues faced by trans people … Thank you for sharing your experience and, in turn, providing a voice for some of us in a world where many of us choose to remain silent.

• But at the heart of it - and this is perhaps why it won the Audience Choice Award at 2021's Singapore International Film Festival - is the moving autobiographical portrait of filmmaker Quen Wong.
  — Straits Times Life!
• In SGIFF’s Audience Choice winner, “Some Women”, walk in the shoes of transgender Quen Wong, as she turns the camera onto herself and recounts her long journey to a happier and safer space … I highly recommend the documentary, please catch it when it comes your way.
