DeBaser hosts a single review praising Ann Hui's A Simple Life for its humanity and restraint. The review highlights themes of aging, gratitude and ordinary dignity. Ann Hui is presented as a major Hong Kong director whose work achieves deep emotion without excess.

For:Readers interested in Hong Kong cinema, humanist drama, and films about aging, family and social change.

 A precious and rare film, which does not seek easy emotion, on the contrary, but precisely because of this inevitably achieves it, at the end of a journey approaching the inevitable (already announced, in fact, in the very first lines of the voiceover), in which aging, illness, death, are faced as natural phases in the existence of anyone.
