Critic Reviews

  • Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader

    This elliptical, poetic movie is filled with yearning, humor, and warmth.

  • V.A. Musetto, New York Post

    Viewers' patience will be rewarded as the stories come together in a moving fashion.

  • Stephen Holden, New York Times

    Although four stories are folded together in Eric Khoos elliptical film, it's the true story of a deaf and blind Singaporean woman that gives the movie its backbone.

  • Michael Atkinson, Village Voice

    Sometimes clumsy and dry, always sympathetic, and wryly interested in the impact food has on social intercourse, Be With Me is eventually affecting once its elliptical shape becomes clear.

  • Derek Elley, Variety

    Pic's awkward combo of true life and fiction doesn't really work in a dramatically cohesive way, despite incidental pleasures and character vignettes.

    I'm not really sure what to say about this film. When I was watching it I became a bit confused, then I read the back of the case and realized that one of the stories was and the other two were fictional. It's a good film about the importance of relationships and… More
