Reception
[edit]A reviewer for LoveHKFilms wrote: "Ng has always been a bit of an oddball, in both his acting and filmmaking choices, and popular appeal has never seemed to be a factor in his previous directorial efforts. Ng and co-director Mak manage to make Dancing Lion fun and even smart, and neatly sidestep any issues of narrative deficiency by simply ignoring them. In the end, this is one for the local cinema fans - and by that, we mean the people who like the actors, love the city, and can actually speak the language."[2] The film was called a "funny but chaotic comedy" on Criticker.[3]
