★★★★☆ Film Review: Sheep in the Box 箱の中の羊 dir. Hirokazu Koreeda

Koreeda’s retreads familiar ground with themes of found family and the process of grief in this futuristic fairy tale with mixed results. Sheep in the Box sees award-winning filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda return to his specialty of family, grief, and the fragile systems we build to survive both, but refracts them through a near-future setting that is conceptually rich, emotionally uneven, and structurally overextended. It is … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Film Review: Sheep in the Box 箱の中の羊 dir. Hirokazu Koreeda

★★★★★ Film Review: DEAR YOU 《给阿嬷的情书》dir. Lam Hongchun

In an era where cinema often leans toward scale, spectacle, or stylistic excess, Dear You succeeds precisely because it does the opposite. Directed by Lam Hongchu, the film builds its emotional weight through restraint, patience, and an … Continue reading ★★★★★ Film Review: DEAR YOU 《给阿嬷的情书》dir. Lam Hongchun

★★★★☆ Theatre Review: GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS by Wild Rice

By D.Y. Lesbian voices are front and centre in Wild Rice’s new verbatim play, providing a distinctly Singaporean context to queer storytelling with unapologetic confidence.  The title of Wild Rice’s newest play is a declaration: the repetition of a single word, GIRLS, three times over.
