Unfortunately whilst this film was well crafted and it is nice to see Singapore on screen, it was clearly the product of someone capable and desperate to put a film together but without a story of any interest to tell. This tale was hardly something that needed to be told to the world and is actually completely unremarkable. However in the 'documentary' these grown adults are talking about it (the lost film Shirker and the story behind it) as if it is a thing of legend.
The main character, playing herself Sandi Tan, comes across as extremely unlikable and arrogant / deluded and the rest of the cast don't come across much better possibly with the exception of Jasmine who seems tired but resigned to her old friend's behaviour. The only aspect of the story that was at all compelling was that of Georges, the strange and mysterious man befriending children with unclear intentions, however this storyline also ultimately disappointed.
Difficult to reconcile the film I watched with the 'award winning' film described.
