this be the first movie i have see from singapore and it great . if you do not know a lot about asia and it language and it culture and then this film may be a bit confuse for the non informed people . a an asian american who double major in two asian language ( one of them be mandarin ) and have take some asian american study class and this film be easy for me to understand and but even without that kind of knowledge and i believe this movie be still accessible to it foreign audience as long a you keep in mind that it a come of age type of movie . the film be definitely worth see just so that you get the chance to see what kind of issue singapore young teenage boy be struggle and have to deal with . this be an awesome coming of age movie and but film and show in a more artistic and original way . the actor be outstanding .
