User Reviews

A side of Singapore no many people know exist

Director of the movie have obviously gone to great length researching into a small but important part of Singapore underground society. The entire story evolve around mostly people who have fallen through the cracks in one of the richest and modern city in the world. There are many scenes in the movie which are spoken in different ethnic dialects which many might missed. Perhaps there is a tad too much mainland Chinese characters in this Singapore based movie. This is a honest movie which focus on people whom many doesn't know they still exist. I must watch for Singaporeans and foreigners who wish to dig deeper into Singapore society and back alley
