A Secret Love (2020)

Nice and touching docu.

Circus of Books (2019)

This docu comes across as a few things - gay history, the incredible story of how a couple sent their kids through college with a gay bookstore business that their children did not know about until later in life, parent-child relationships. Personal and lite, this docu was directed by the couple's own daughter.

I Dream of Singapore (2019)

Somewhat uneven, as there are bits that dwell away from the main character and his situation, but this is mostly focused on Feroz, a migrant worker who was injured and is accompanied by the GM of TWC2 as he travels home.

I won't say this is necessarily an engaging documentary - the style is very much just to show without making any overt statements.

There are poignant moments that capture human behaviours and interactions beautifully, but I think each audience member will take away something different depending on her or his own social and economic position in life.

Dear Ex《誰先愛上他的》(2018)

IMHO, love the performances and the general storytelling and sly bits of humor. Love the poker face that the teenager carried throughout most of the film. Love the overly dramatic mother character. Love the direction. Thought the father's performance and casting (although just a supporting role) was a weak link (though I can't really elaborate why exactly - maybe in comparison to the other 3 characters who all seem much better developed and had more screen time). Otherwise, I did find this a pretty engaging and heartfelt film, especially on the depiction of mother and son relationships.

Extraction (2020)

Was ok. I didn't dig the story 100% tho.

Annihilation (2018)

Mesmerizing. I liked it.

Late Night (2019)

Was okay. IMHO, a lite story with some nice performances.
