Wiki.

The Way We Talk (Chinese: 看我今天怎麼說) is a 2024 Hong Kong drama film directed and co-written by Adam Wong. Produced by One Cool Film Production, it stars Neo Yau, Chung Suet Ying, and Marco Ng. The film explores the identity conflicts of a cochlear implant user (Chung) as she navigates whether to integrate with hearing people or embrace the deaf community after befriending a sign language enthusiast (Yau).

Marking his sixth feature film, Adam Wong conceived the project in 2020 after being exposed to sign languages through a short film series. Pre-production lasted a year, during which Wong cast both previous collaborators and deaf actors, including Marco Ng in his acting debut, and the characters primarily communicate using Hong Kong Sign Language in the film. Principal photography took place in 2023, with post-production completed the same year. The film features the theme song "What If", with lyrics written by lead actress Chung and performed by Panther Chan.

The film had its world premiere at the 68th BFI London Film Festival on 12 October 2024, followed by a theatrical release in Hong Kong on 20 February 2025. It received seven nominations in the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards, and Chung Suet Ying won Best Leading Actress in the 61st Golden Horse Awards for her role.
