Review of Ilo Ilo (2013) by Abhinandhan D — 05 Jan 2015
A movie that feels very realistic. A modern Singapore family facing problems that are very similar to what families face in western countries. You care about each main character,Sometimes good people do bad things.
This movie is as much about the family as it is about Terry''the maid' (we only learn a little about her life back in the Philippines), but her presence, her humility and inner strength quietly permeate these people's lives.
At the end of the film, the family's economic future is on a very slippery slope. But they have each other. They are rich. Even though none of them is perfect. A nice glimpse of life in Singapore.
