Revenge of The Pontianak

Revenge of The Pontianak was not what I expected. First of all the visuals were very good, the type of cinematography I like. And I was very much into it and shed tears at the end and had nightmares after. 

Crazy Rich Asians

Crazy Rich Asians was OK. I'm happy that I picked it up at a sale though since I wouldn't want to pay the full price for it. The typical romance novel with a background of rich Asian characters doing everything their western counterparts do. 

Ilo Ilo

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.
