The Leap Years



Let's be clear! I am not going to rave about this movie because it was a love story full of clichés and it was bordering on naive from time to time but it is always interesting to see a local movie that could go global yet with a strong Singaporean identity. One of Catherine Lim's books, The Bondmaid, has been a best seller some years ago therefore it was also quite natural that this movie based on one of Lim's stories would also become one of the top grossers of the year. But if you want to see a truly interesting local production I can only continue to recommend any of Royston Tan's movies instead.
