Audience Member A very touching movie.Its about dreams,aim,money,family or more precisely about life.A great message, to follow dreams and passion and not to worry about other things, the movie tells about reality ,about importance of money and also that even the people having cars and big mansions or homes have tensions and big problems. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A very good dramatic movie about an average Singaporean family whose members are each struggling to achieve their own dreams: the father who plays the lottery in hopes of one day moving from an HBD (government-subsidized 'Housing Development Board') flat to a luxury country club condo; the 'screw-up' son back from college abroad trying to make it big and prove his worth to his father; the dutiful daughter, always 'second fiddle' to her brother, seeking the parental recognition she deserves; the son-in-law, having left the Singaporean army (SAF) and with a baby on the way, struggling to find a career; the live-in future daughter-in-law anticipating the realization of her dream to marrying and start a family with the returning graduate. With great cinematography backed by a moving musical score that captures snapshots of daily life and aspects of the local cultural combined with first-rate direction and performances, this film is sure to not only entertain but also convey the essence of Singapore to the viewer. If you have ever visited or lived in the 'Lion City', Singapore Dreaming will no doubt bring back fond memories. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A movie that gets better and better the more times you watch it. An excellent commentary and critique of Singapore culture, the low-middle class family struggle, and the gender roles of local society today. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member It was decent in a way, but the ponderous sense of urgency really grates on the nerves. Overall, I don't think it's a good film but it has some neat ideas. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I like it. Although the story is ordinary, you won't leave your seat until it finished. Touching and moving.... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Stumbled upon this film on Link TV at 3am. Very moving and complex....a modern day 'Raisin in the Sun'. Emotional and transforming. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
