#LookAtMe (2022)
#LookAtMe

Tackling a range of topics local filmmakers wouldn't (couldn't?) think of coming anywhere close to, #LookAtMe recasts Amos Yee and Lawrence Khong - archetypal figures, one might say, of a kind of contemporary Singaporean man - into a David-versus-Goliath film that is at once comedic and horrifying. As a storyteller myself, I couldn't help but think that the second act could have been more efficient in pushing our protagonist towards the film's final chapter; nonetheless, I also couldn't help but scream and cheer at the film's raucous ending, literalising for the audience what we've all surely thought about our antagonist and his real-life counterpart. Also: Pam Oei is a blast.
