Even with just two films under her belt, Tam Wai-ching may already be the closest thing to an emerging auteur that Hong Kong cinema has to offer – for better or for worse.
Unlike her previous film, about a substitute secondary-school teacher and the student who becomes obsessed with her, Someone Like Me initially appears to align with the focus on social issues prevalent in recent Hong Kong films. However, this turns out to be the least of Tam’s concerns as her story unfolds.
Fish Liew Chi-yu stars as Mui, who has lived with cerebral palsy since birth. Using a wheelchair and living with a speech disorder and the use of only one hand, the bespectacled young woman nonetheless lives a relatively contented life with a sustainable career as a painter and a healthy social life with the disabled community in her area.
