Charles Solomon
Los Angeles Times
For all its flaws ... On Happiness Road's significance goes beyond its quality, and it is certainly a worthy heir to Taiwan's once-thriving and now-extinct animation film industry.

Clarence Tsui
Hollywood Reporter
Beyond relatable and touching storytelling, 'On Happiness' Road's visual style creates a distinctive air of wistfulness.

Anthony Kao
Cinema Escapist
The handling of national culture subtleties, and what makes a child and a woman at home gives the film On Happiness Road its distinct feel of contemporaneity, even more satisfyingly than its implied politics angle

[Sung's] film is both heart-warming and educational, and may well cause a few tears to be shed.
