Queer
This tender and delicate depiction of a queer person growing closer to their mother with dementia is one of the MQFF program selection team’s favourite films of the year. Beautiful and charming, with stunning performances by Richie Koh and Hong Huifang, this Singaporean gem follows a drag performer who convinces his mother that he is her long-lost daughter. They become closer than ever before, discovering the power of healing through ageing. Adapted from the real-life story of Christopher Lim, more commonly known as Sammi Zhen, A Good Child demonstrates that blood is indeed thicker than water.
