Leave your thoughts about Ilo Ilo.
| Honolulu Star-AdvertiserBurl BurlingameThis quiet little domestic drama from Singapore reminds us films can achieve near-impossible heights and depths of intimacy and empathy. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonChen builds his case not with sentimentality and obvious plot points, but through everyday life -- showering, doing laundry, dropping the boy off at school, phone calls. |
| Cinema ScopeRobert KoehlerThe dynamics are just about perfect, and calibrated for a long chain of terrific scenes... |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlCharacters who may seem hopeless begin to suggest a vulnerable side, and none truly deserve the situations that afflict them. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneTim CampbellYoung actor Koh Jia Ler's brave performance recalls "The 400 Blows," he's that great. |
| Observer (UK)Mark KermodeThis sympathetic and engaging drama is deceptively gentle in its insight - compassionate yet unsentimental. |
| Irish TimesTara BradySuccinct, handheld camerawork and deft performances amplify the drama's emotional clout. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirIlo Ilo deals with that perennial dilemma of the middle-class working parent: how to deal with the live-in nanny who begins to usurp your role. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonPerceptive and tightly built and anchored by such fully human characters. |
| OregonianMarc MohanWith evocative performances, especially from the two women, and a nicely modulated sense of nostalgia, Ilo Ilo marks the emergence of a promising new cinematic voice. |
