LOVE CUTS (PG)
Drama/110 mins
THE poster may look racy with Zoe Tay's naked shoulders on show, but Love Cuts is very serious.
Dead serious in a way that would resonate with local audiences in view of its familiar subject matter.
Tay is Sissy, a 40-something seamstress who works cheerily and unfailingly at her shop in a shopping mall.
Her children teenage son (Fighting Spiders' Edwin Goh) and young daughter (Kidnapper's Regene Lim) are caught in the phase between needing mum and requiring their personal space.
As a bonding practice, they lunch together dutifully in her shop every day.
Dad, though, feels restless.
