Reviews
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Alvin is an agoraphobic young guy who works at home as a translator; he hasn't left his apartment in months. We follow him in his offbeat daily routines and peculiar obsessions. Unexpectedly we join Alvin in discovering another realm. That dream we have all had, of finding an extra room in our house or a new land reached through a wrinkle in space or time, gets a whimsical and fantastical exploration here. Teik Kim Pok as Alvin is amusing and expressive, making his character sympathetic whether he is experiencing the most mundane or the most surreal situations. The musical score adds to the idiosyncratic, charming tone of this unusual film.
