Initially, I watched this film to support actor Billkin. But, now I really like this film, be it the characters, story, production values and everything in it that supports the creation of this work.
M, with all his attitudes and ways of thinking which then lead to every conclusion and decision, really succeeds in presenting a character that is very relatable to most young people, especially for me who lives in an Asian family.
The story in this film has succeeded in reminding me that there are still many children and grandchildren who as they grow into adults have slowly made them forget how much they were once loved in their family. Likewise, the busy schedule outside the home and life with a new family has increasingly made them forget the importance of time spent with their parents.
It is important to remember that many more children and grandchildren actually distance themselves from their parents for various reasons, both consciously and unconsciously. Meanwhile, parents still remain in the same place, watching their children's growth, trying to accept their strengths and weaknesses and continuing to love them sincerely.
This film presents the story of a family with various turmoil within it. Without conflict with big fights, but only through the delivery of dialogue, simple scenes and the acting of each character has succeeded in making the audience enter the story and position themselves in the same position, perhaps with M, Amah, M's mother, Uncle Soei and Uncle Kiang.
Lastly, this is my first time writing a review about a film. I realize my incompetence in conveying thoughts and opinions but in the end I highly recommend to anyone to watch this film. Thank you.
