Dream Stall《梦想小店》(2026)

Not too bad. 

I didn't care too much about some of the casting and the plot was basically formulaic and shallow, and the romance angle felt blah. But I thought the lead actress was watchable enough, much of the dialogue felt more colloquial than many local flicks, and I thought the music inserts ain't too bad. Mark Lee was a good supporting cast, and the Jack Neo bit was a hoot.

The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025)

I wasn't as engaged as I thought I would be, and I wondered if it was because I found the narrative in terms of the dramatic recreation a bit lacking in terms of the complexities that surround this tragic event. 

Also, have those of us who are insulated from these circumstances become so numb to such events that we now find it hard to care more?
