Daredevil. Rebel. Powerhouse. At 39, Yuja Wang stands among the most electrifying musicians of our time and she is falling out of love with the music.

She has both ignited and upended classical music, on her own terms, with ferocious artistry, superhuman technique, and a stage presence as bold as her famously daring couture and six-inch stilettos. Dismissed by some critics for “stripper-wear” and scrutinized for her irreverent takes on the canon, she has also faced racism and sexism for defying expectations of what an Asian woman in classical music should be. In doing so, she has inspired a new generation with her unapologetic individuality.

At the height of her career, Yuja finds herself at a crossroads. Whispers of whether she has peaked collide with her own private doubts. Has she lost the spark? As the demands of success and the sacrifices of a solitary life close in, she begins to question what it all amounts to, and what comes next.

In YUJA, acclaimed filmmaker Lorna Tucker crafts an immersive portrait of an artist in flux. With unprecedented access, the film weaves together performance, memory, and reconstruction to explore the forces that shape Yuja, and the woman she is still becoming. As she confronts her past and reexamines her purpose, the question lingers: was the cost of greatness worth it?
