Sinekatalog’s take
A twelve-year-old boy's awkward friendship with a sharp-tongued girl slowly turns into first love. Yasmin Ahmad's tone is gentle, funny and wistful. A delightful pick for those who like warm Southeast Asian coming-of-age stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
