Chan hang rawang rao

Oh where do I start! (I'm not very good at reviews but I just finished watching this and I need to speak about it, no matter how nonsensical it may sound hehe) I got home from work and made a late meal so I choose this thinking that the film would be a good way to pass time. I didn't expect to drawn into the character's lives the way I did, and somehow I forgot about my bowl of ramen and was sucked into the storyline. This story reminded me so much of my own childhood, raised in a small community where various hardships forced teens to grow up too quick and take on responsibilities to survive. As it is a coming of age film, it highlights simple things like friendship and creating meaningful bonds onto topics like dealing with self image, a predatory society and battling generational curses. You'll really feel connected to their storyline, even if you didn't have the same experiences. As a viewer this film will have you thinking that Ann and Jane were you and a friend in your past lives. I didn't expect to have so much raw feelings build up to the point of crying while I ran to twitter to post about and then to this website to post this rant! This might be an exaggeration but I'd rate this infinity/10 if I could!

This film moved me. Two girls coming of age start to move away from the innocence of childhood and experience hardship in various forms. Poverty from family addictions, dreams that seem out of reach, infidelity and marital breakdown. All from the perspective of Thai society in a humble flat.

If you're on the fence I recommend seeing it.

"Flat Girls" is a drama centered around the lives of two teenage girls, daughters of police officers, living in the same police flats. The film explores their friendship, which is put to the test as they navigate the challenges of adolescence, including the stark differences in their socioeconomic backgrounds. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the flats, highlighting how their environment shapes their experiences and relationships. It delves into themes of love, friendship, and the complexities of growing up, capturing the essence of a coming-of-age tale where the bonds of friendship are challenged by the realities of life and class differences.

This film captures the beauty and complexity of being human. Despite its heavy tone and the suffocating world it portrays, there is a subtle warmth and quiet hope woven throughout the story. It reminded me that even in difficult environments and less-than-ideal situations, there is still space for kindness, resilience, and dreams. Watching it gave me strength. My life isn't what I once hoped it would be - I'm not where I wanted to end up - but this film made me feel seen. It inspired me to keep trying, to pursue something meaningful, while also learning to accept the present moment as it is. Thank you for creating something so thoughtful and powerful. I truly gained a lot from this experience.

Everything was beautiful, from the cinematography, acting, and location to the sound inside the film. It's complex, heartwrenching, yet relatable and realistic, with the characters facing life complexities, dilemmas, and struggles. It's everything from self-image, identity, love, differences in social class & opportunities, dreams, family/financial circumstances, etc. A total tearjerker with many details to catch.

The movie isn't straightforward and allows room for you to think, interpret, and judge for yourself, which is very "human" in a way. There were just so many things to rewatch it for! The plot, details, beautiful cinematography,scenic views and acting. -it was an experience watching it on the big screen.
