Wet Season

About This Movie

Wet Season is a quiet, intimate film that dives deep into the complexities of human connection. The pacing, slow and deliberate, really lends itself to the exploration of Ling's emotionally charged world—balancing her teaching career, longing for motherhood, and the burden of her father-in-law’s care. Anthony Chen captures this rainy backdrop of Singapore with a palpable atmosphere that feels both heavy and tender. The performances are understated yet powerful; Yeo Yann Yann as Ling embodies a beautiful blend of vulnerability and strength. The relationship that develops between Ling and her student Wei Lun feels both innocent and poignant, highlighting themes of longing and unexpected affection. It’s a film that lingers with you, much like the monsoon season it depicts.
