Dark themes for Thailand but tame by European standards
Surprised that this indie style drama managed to get a cinema release in Thailand - Bravo - There's themes of mild sex, a drug scene, lesbian implied schoolgirls and prostitution references.
Some very good acting performances and decent character arcs hold together a fairly weak central plot and melodrama- not sure what happened to the school fee money - that plot line was confusing. Would have been better if it dared to push the darker themes more - seemed restrained as compared to the Vietnamese stunner Cyclo which was of course banned for years.
Tame by western indie drama standards but a welcome Thai production. I wonder if this will open the floodgates for more a more gritty social realism movement in Thai film production?
