Pic's awkward combo of true life and fiction doesn't really work in a dramatically cohesive way, despite incidental pleasures and character vignettes.

This elliptical, poetic movie is filled with yearning, humor, and warmth.

Be With Me puts it all out there with tremendous yet understated power.

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.

Singaporean writer-director Eric Khoo's third feature is a beautiful, contemplative study of love -- unrequited, unfulfilled and reborn.

A Singaporean drama that requires patience but ultimately rewards it.

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.

A delicately crafted, gently inflected, lovely little movie about the need for love.

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.
