★★★★☆ Film Review: The Sandbox dir. James Thoo

Charming mockumentary about the bitter realities of chasing your dreams in practical Singapore. Duration: 113 minutes It feels like something out of a comedy film: just before the film’s theatrical release, the real life Sandbox stunt school shuttered its doors in September. What’s left is The Sandbox, a local mockumentary about a somewhat fictitious version of that same struggling business, as written and directed by … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Film Review: The Sandbox dir.

★★★★★ Film Review: The Violinist 沧海琴声 dir. Ervin Han and Raúl García

An animated triumph of a sweeping, heartfelt love letter to Singapore and her history, and the dreams that take us further. Singaporeans are often a self-deprecating, critical bunch. We rarely think Singapore is worth being the subject of an epic, so seeing the country lovingly rendered on the big screen evokes a particular kind of national pride. This is not merely a recognisable skyline glimpsed … Continue reading ★★★★★ Film Review: The Violinist 沧海琴声 dir. Ervin Han and Raúl García

★★★★☆ Theatre Review: The Whale by The Actors’ Studio Seni Teater Rakyat

The Whale carries the weight of everything we cannot say in this emotional adaptation of Samuel D. Hunter’s play. Duration: 120 minutes There is a whale waiting for us when we enter the theatre. Not a living one, but its skeleton: a great, looming reminder of what once was, and of what remains after everything else has been stripped away. The cast is already onstage, … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Theatre Review: The Whale by The Actors’ Studio Seni Teater Rakyat

★★★★★ Film Review: Once Upon A Time In The Middle East 欢迎来龙餐馆 dir. Wen Muye

From China comes one of the best anti-war blockbuster films in recent history that captures the human cost of senseless conflict, in both body count and morality. Duration: 140 minutes War films are so often constructed around the perspectives of the countries that wage them, making it unusual to see a film so openly interested in the consequences of American intervention in the Middle East … Continue reading ★★★★★ Film Review: Once Upon A Time In The Middle East 欢迎来龙餐馆 dir.
