Talk Like No One Talks
What I loved most: The late night Christmas dinner scene
What I really hated: The prostitute character - completely unbelievable
There's a lot of talking in here, and not much action, and nothing is really inherently cinematic. Frankly, it might be a lot better as a stage play. Andrea Fonseka acquits herself well, but unfortunately her character is completely unbelievable - a local prostitute that walks around Geylang, speaks good English, and harbors dreams of being a jazz singer? Get real. Most of the dialogue is like nothing any real person ever says, and it's all very indie and self-indulgent. It does get better towards the end, but the damage has been done. No fault of the actors though, as they're almost all decent.
