Reviews

“Ting is an experienced comedy writer, but with this film he proves that he blends perfectly comedy with darker themes, without turning his narrative into a farce.”

“His ability to simultaneously entertain while crafting a story with depth only leaves us impatiently awaiting his future projects.”
