Ilo Ilo (2013) | Singapore
A simple heart touching family drama coming from Singapore film industry. Movie depicts the pure innocence love & bonding between a mischief kid and a Filipino caretaker who comes to work in Singapore leaving behind her own 12 month baby under the care of her sister. So she had to sustain and endure whatever it takes to keep her new job safe as she is very much dependent on it .Whatever that young kid does to bully her, she had to keep herself calm and situation under control so it doesn't escalate to that boys parent which could cost her job easily. What turned sour initially grows pleasant as story moves forward with their bonding growing strong everyday with that kid starting to like her and respect her for her love n care for him. Separation is all evident and to the end how hard it would be for a young heart to swallow it been beautifully portrayed in this film.
The best thing about this film is the way it travels with time making us connect with it all along till the end and allowing us to empathize on what every character played in this film makes it a best part of this movie. Hardly with four characters, they created a wonder out of it and i would say this should be a must watch film on every movie buff list. A one time journey that need to be experienced and felt. Have fun watching
