Ilo Ilo is a festival darling of a film directed and written by Anthony Chen. I was able to watch it this weekend on festival channel and loved it. It is a slice of life story of a family in Singapore and their Filipino maid. The actors, the sets and the story all merged into one delicious mound of drama that says what it wants to say but without hammering it into our heads. Everyone's flaws are on display but these make them only human and not villains.
Highly recommended.
