The Pink Lens

Malila is a thoughtful piece that will make you ruminate upon some pretty big questions, but in dwelling on the insignificance of life, it cancels its own existence out.

Rated: 2/5

Gay Essential

Riveting and sincere, Anucha Boonyawatana's powerful feature film bluntly, but calmly reminds us of the inescapable reality of death.

Rated: 8

Shadows on the Wall

It's beautiful to look at, provocative in its ideas and ultimately moving in what it has to say.

A truly remarkable Thai film, Malila: The Farewell Flower takes big risks and makes it seem the most natural thing in the world.

The acting is just unbelievable, and you can see that this is more-or-less a director-driven film. The filming is just beautiful. There are hidden messages to life in this movie. I believe all the accolades it received spoke it all.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
