The film does an excellent job of introducing the pop star to unfamiliar audiences, contextualizing her activism and, more broadly, examining the role art can play in shaping our beliefs.

3.5 stars out of 4 -- [I]ts titular subject’s songs serve as soul-shaking epiphanies that transcend all cultural barriers with their messages of empowerment and resilience.

Crisp editing, using choice cuts from Ho’s discography and archive footage of her performances, helps to propel the story forward.

Denise Ho - Becoming the Song presents a thoughtful, if surprisingly reserved portrait, of Hong Kong-born, Montreal-reared singer Denise Ho, the first Cantopop superstar to come out publicly as gay.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
I went into the film knowing nothing about the Cantopop star, and came away from it as an instant fan rejuvenated by my connection to every soul throughout the world currently fighting to preserve human rights against the rising tide of totalitarianism.

Product Description:
Denise Ho — Becoming the Song is a documentary that centers on the Hong Kong-based Cantopop songstress Denise Ho, a vocal pro-democracy and human rights activist and the first mainstream artist in Hong Kong to proudly come out as part of the LGBTQ community. The film explores her growth as a cultural icon, from being an uber-successful commercial pop star to an artist who is willing to risk her career to fight for what she believes in. Written and directed by Sue Williams.
