This was really nice. The storyline was cute and although things were predictable it wasn't such a bad thing. I think the music choice wasn't the best but that doesn't matter too much. The acting was good and loss of points got across. I wish there were more to series or films with this point of view, it's so real and entertaining and interesting. The director did a good job and the movie was very smooth and easy to follow. I wouldn't say something was missing, only that it would've been nice to see how the main characters reconciled as that was left to the imagination. Not an important factor but nonetheless would've been nice.

From the beginning the voice over ruined the mood. The acting was really bad and the forced posh London accent really destroyed any hopes of this being a good film. For what was meant to be a 2 hour long sexy dance fuelled movie, we got about 10% worth of dance and a whole lot of unnecessary and badly written drama about something that most people who go to see magic Mike don't care about. The last dance at the end was really good, but was it worth painstakingly sitting through a whole film? I don't think so. Nothing like his past films so past fans will also be disappointed. A real shame and missed opportunity.

This film should be viewed in a certain mood, and full attention should be paid, without distractions. First of all, I gave it a 10 because I wouldn't change anything - everything had a purpose, everything had meaning which slowly grew over time. Even as the film was finished I found myself holding onto little pieces of the film and understanding more of what was shown. This film was absolutely beautiful and spoke to me on so many levels and shows that there are many complexities to life, but living life in the present, and being aware of what is surrounding you, is a good way to get by. I wont dive much into the plot as it can speak for itself but I will say that this is a timeless film, that I will never forget about. The acting was superb, the filming was fresh yet nuanced and the directing could not be topped. Many may think that this film is slow, but everything has a reason and as I find with many Thai films, the pacing is simply unique and allows for ideas to develop. The pace is necessary to fully understand the film, and even though it isn't fast paced, there are many factors that would never have been thought of, particularly in western culture.

I initially wanted to watch this film as the director had directed a series that I am currently watching that I really liked. Boonyawatana manages to find something new and bring an alternative view to everything she directs. I've never seen anything like this film, and I can't wait to see if she will direct another.
