Aluna U Sep 29 A Land Imagined explores the harsh reality of migrant workers in Singapore through an artistic, non-linear narrative that blurs the line between reality and imagination. While the cinematography, sound, and performances are strong, the film leaves many unanswered questions and lacks a clear resolution, making it challenging for viewers to fully grasp the story. Despite its ambiguity, the film remains a thought-provoking piece worth watching for its bold theme and visual depth.

I'd rather watch paint dry, flake, fall off, and decompose into tiny little particles. See more Read all reviews
