As the film started, I cannot believe that this was by someone who had already made 4 features prior. The performances by most of the extras left much to be desired. Technically, the film also feels more like an amateur short film. Nevertheless, as the movie progressed, I started to get into it. A lot of heart. Potent highlights on love, religion and forgiveness. Enjoyed the Yeo Yann Yann appearance. Good to see Sharifah Amani again. The martial arts bit in the car park while seemingly out of place and silly, is kinda memorable and adds to the lightheartedness of this film. One of my favs of the year. Left a smile on my face.
