Tomorrow Is Another Day - 黃金花 (2017)

Surprisingly delighted and touched by this one. Great performances. Love the use of music. Direction for the most part was steady.

Possibly one of my favorites of the year. And it came across so good in Cantonese!

Disobedience (2017)

What a heartfelt story about love. IMHO - great direction and use of music too. "Love Song" by The Cure felt so appropriate in this one. 

Possibly one  of the best film I caught this year.

A Fantastic Woman (2017)

IMHO, Daniela Vega carried the show. Love the score as well.

Dreaming in Black and White - 幻境黑白 (2017)

Love it!

I was concerned that I may not be engaged and that this docu will be very slow. It is slow. But it turned out to be engaging as I could identify with the main subject. Especially when her aged parents are featured. And the gatherings with old classmates. Love the animated bits too and the simple sound designs.

The Nun (2018)

Generic horror with a fair amount of jump scares and lack of logic. I was waiting for Hellboy to pop up to save the day but alas, he didn't. I enjoyed Annabelle: Creation much more.

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018)

Wasn't as entertaining as I had hoped. Think this one can be saved for the small screen, even for adult DC fans. Had some fun bits though.

To Singapore, with Love (2013)

IMHO, Pin Pin's documentaries always takes a few steps back and let the subjects tell their stories within the perimeters she sets. Sometimes, this could be draggy. But there's no denying the historical importance of this work, and how well it focuses on the topic of home.
