Reviews for Be With Me
A Singaporean drama that requires patience but ultimately rewards it.
This elliptical, poetic movie is filled with yearning, humor, and warmth.
Singaporean writer-director Eric Khoo's third feature is a beautiful, contemplative study of love -- unrequited, unfulfilled and reborn.
Viewers' patience will be rewarded as the stories come together in a moving fashion.
Although four stories are folded together in Eric Khoos elliptical film, it's the true story of a deaf and blind Singaporean woman that gives the movie its backbone.
Sometimes clumsy and dry, always sympathetic, and wryly interested in the impact food has on social intercourse, Be With Me is eventually affecting once its elliptical shape becomes clear.
Pic's awkward combo of true life and fiction doesn't really work in a dramatically cohesive way, despite incidental pleasures and character vignettes.
A delicately crafted, gently inflected, lovely little movie about the need for love.
Develops slowly, almost painfully so, but those mature viewers who stay with it will embrace a mature and stirring glimpse of 'true love' in one of its three vignettes.
