My Magic (2008)

  • Khoo, Eric
  • 2008, Eric Khoo, Singapore
  • Leave a comment

Khoo’s work here is a gritty ‘freak show’ first, and a heartfelt drama second.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

3.5 stars

Khoo’s loyal fans and Tatsumi’s cult followers will lap up this highly-personal animated film.

12 Storeys (1997)

  • Khoo, Eric
  • 1997, Eric Khoo, Singapore
  • 2 Comments

Possibly the quintessential ‘90s movie from Singapore that balances its arthouse preoccupations with strategic mainstream appeal in what remains to be Eric Khoo’s defining work.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Be with Me (2005)

  • Khoo, Eric
  • 2005, Eric Khoo, Singapore
  • 1 Comment

Khoo’s work here is oddly affective, finding the poetic in the mundane as stories of love and solitude come together in elliptical fashion.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ramen Teh (2018)

3.5 stars

Food and memory (re)connect in uncommonly emotional ways in this measured, heartfelt and very accessible work by Eric Khoo.

Mee Pok Man (1995)

  • Khoo, Eric
  • 1995, Eric Khoo, Singapore
  • 2 Comments

3 stars

An invigorating feature debut that is raw and bold, if not particularly well-paced, but it almost singularly put Singapore back on the filmmaking map in the mid-1990s.

In the Room (2015)

  • Khoo, Eric
  • 2015, Eric Khoo, Singapore
  • 1 Comment

2.5 stars

At best a misguided attempt at interweaving disparate tales in one film, at worst a huge misfire from one of Singapore’s most celebrated filmmakers.

7 Letters (2015)

  • Khoo, Eric, Tan, Royston
  • 2015, Boo Junfeng, Eric Khoo, Jack Neo, K. Rajagopal, Kelvin Tong, Royston Tan, Singapore, Tan Pin Pin
  • 1 Comment

An omnibus showcase that very much confirms what we have suspected – Singapore cinema is on another wave of triumph, and this time it shall not decline.
