[REVIEW] [FILM] [★★★★★ Wonderland 乐园 dir. Chai Yee Wei] Read now on Bakchormeeboy.com. “In its final sequence, we segue into a scene where we see Loke’s entire family reunited in Wonderland amusement park. While certainly not a real place anymore, it is perhaps their own version of the afterlife, representing a kind of paradise where nothing changes, and there is some kind of eternity captured in a place that holds so many fond memories. Life goes on, but if we make memories worth holding on to, then change isn’t so hard, as long as we remember that there will always be good times, when you find the right people to spend them with. Uplifting against the tragic, buoyed by powerful performances by both Mark Lee and Peter Yu, Wonderland is local cinema at its best, championing finding joy and helping others to do the same, instead of looking back with regret.”
Wonderland is now playing in Singapore cinemas, including Golden Village.
