Review of Be with Me (2005) by Tor M — 30 Nov 2014

A splitted, multi-narrative film from Singapore, where the stories are not that much connected. A very silent film with few words. We do have more text here, when we follow a blind and deaf lady. She tells stories while we watch other scenes - a bit hard to hang on to, to be honest. The characters are cool, the three individual stories are also cool, but the combinations are not that great.

It's a film that does not give me much. It's does not look especially pretty, it's not thrilling or sad, the plot is not all that either. It's quite artsy, but this is not how I like my artsy films. It has it's moments, though, but they are not big enough to save it. I like some details, the genuinity and some of the actions the leads do. Twists of love can be as wide as they can be narrow - this film is failing to capture the point that it's trying to make and tell us.

4 out of 10 braille newspapers.
