Full Plot Details

"4:30" traces the relationship between Xiao Wu, an eleven year old Chinese Boy and his tenant Jung, a thirty-something Korean man. Told entirely from the perspective of the boy, Xiao Wu, this story of two very different characters is less about friendship than about a shared experience and appreciation of solitude. "4:30" starts with Xiao sneaking to the room of Jung in the early hours of the morning, and stealing from the Korean man. Just as getting intoxicated is a habit for Jung, who only staggers back to his rented room when drunk, soon stealing for Xiao Wu becomes equally as compulsive. We soon realize that Jung's true intention for staying in Singapore is suicide. It is only through Xiao's encounter with Jung failing in his bid to die that he begins to understand his true fascination with Jung.

Movie Reviews

Little White Lies - 10/10 by Matt BochenskiRoyston Tan's film comes alive in the green hued semi-darkness of the flat, using long takes and infinite silences to show two troubled souls connecting through their mutual loneliness.
Guardian - 6/10 by Peter BradshawThis long, all-but-wordless piece is good on the endless boredom of unsupervised childhood.
Sky Cinema - 6/10 by Tim EvansNicely shot but too wilfully obscure for many tastes, it's to Xiao Li Yuan's credit that he carries a movie whose unrequited love theme doesn't merit this length.
Film4 - 4/10 by Jamie RussellSomewhat ironically for a film about insomnia, 4:30 manages to send its audience to sleep. A lack of plot and an ill-judged belief in its own importance make it a disappointment for Tan fans.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UThe best film i have seen this year. Royston Tan moves from the erratic, boat-rocking nihilism of his debut '15', to this quiet meditation on loneliness with effortless grace. The film follows Xiao Wu, a sickly young boy unsure of his sexuality and abandoned by his mother on a business trip. She leaves him with his visiting Korean father, who has also had his heart broken by her, and who doesn't even speak the same language as the boy. Desperate to connect with this strange man, with whom he has so much in common but from whom he is so distanced, Xiao begins to sneak into his room every morning at 4.30, where he lies sprawled on the bed after his drunken night out, and methodically explores his possessions and then his body, making notes in a scrapbook as he goes. Tan explores his subject cinematically through a series of elegant long takes that create a deeply poignant atmosphere. Tan demonstrates, like Tsai Ming-liang and Wong Kar-wai who seem to be influences here, that he has the ability to create meaning and emotion through a stunning control of space, repetition and powerful images without the need of unnecessary dialogue.
