A movie that forcus more on the main character.every detail is so exquisite that u can't find flaw in movie. Super performance by the actress that had to restraint her feeling which is so hard to perform but she manage to make it. And the dad act so natural that I think he's really a stroke patient. It could be better if jump between scene will be more smoother and more focus on the rain drop transform as this is the main root of the movie. Every performance is so natural that there's is no sign of acting in this movie.
This movie really close to reality I believe happening to many people. We have sad side in our life and lots of problems need us to deal with that we are unwilling. It's a story of a teacher and a student, using a female perspective to view the Singapore society. I play a lot of attention when watching most of the time. The cinematography is very good as well as the actress performance. It's a drama and feel the background and story fits so well, from rainy season til the last scene seeing the sun, it's a depression storyline but just so real and I believe the reason I love it because it echo with me.... No wonder it's nominated as one of the best movie. Will watch this director production for sure next. After a week of watching, just make me want to watch again.. it's so charming
Insights about Singapore, insights about human nature, about loneliness, togetherness, love, heartache, us being connected via joy and sadness. The film takes its time, but for the patient, it delivers. Just like Ilo Ilo.
She has a lot to handle, father-in-law, failed fertilisation throughout 8 years, cheating husband and more than student relationship.
There are some mocking details I like such as bad female driver prejudice and chinese education not important in Singapore.
Although chinese is really difficult to learn. A fresh start after everything happened during wet season.

Still wondering why I liked it!
Perhaps it was the acting, direction or... NO, that was it.
Not too special of a story, but a DRAMA that's just gonna feel GOOD.
Even got a STANDING OVATION at that screening.
GO FOR IT!!!
