SG Talk

looks interesting. The best actor winner iz actually taiwanese. Many bolehland talents winning global acclaims recently.

Only Singaporeans and Malayisans can fully appreciate this great movie. ..mix of use of malay, Chinese, KL Cantonese and the unique cultural settings makes it harder for others to fully appreciate.

A movie made by and for the low ses?

Is it gangster movie? Those actors look like Cheekopehman during his younger days.    

I can't believe people can get so negative over a movie and pass such brainless remarks.

We should be proud of this movie as Singapore also had collaborators in the movie....even though its largely a Malaysian effort.
