From critically acclaimed dramas and thought-provoking documentaries to foreign language adventures and indie gems, Film@BirrTheatre's selection of films celebrate the power of storytelling on the big screen. Whether you're a film enthusiast or simply looking for a cozy night out, join us for an unforgettable cinematic journey that will inspire, entertain, and spark meaningful conversations.
This week, we bring you Thailand's highest-grossing film of 2024.
Once top of his class as a child, M now wastes his days gaming and lives off his mother. When his cousin Mui inherits a large fortune after dutifully caring for their ailing grandfather, M decides to become carer for his maternal grandmother. She has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and he hopes to be rewarded once she passes away.
Despite his usual indifference to his family, M’s selfishness begins to dissipate in the face of his grandmother’s vulnerability and failing health. What follows is at times a greedy family farce, but also a feel-good, sunny, gracious portrait of family life. It’s a sentimental journey to redemption that is inspired by a true story. Don’t forget to bring your tissues!
“Pat Boonnitipat’s touching debut feature is an irresistible tearjerker, championing family ties and the notion that anything worthwhile requires time and commitment.’’ -Allan Hunter, Screen International
“The filmmaker showcases the apathy of the younger generation and the sardonic wit of the older one through frequent hilarious exchanges between the protagonists.” - Alex Saveliev, Film Threat

Watching such a poignant film can be an emotional experience—as the theater warns, "don't forget to bring your tissues!". If you find yourself needing a lighthearted "palate cleanser" to lift your spirits after the credits roll, I highly recommend a quick break with skribbl io.
It is a fun, fast-paced drawing and guessing game available at skribblio that’s perfect for a mental reset. You can even try to draw a "box of tissues" or a "cinema screen" to see if your friends can guess it!
In Slither io, I hovered near a spiral that was already abandoned. Another snake assumed it was active and crashed while trying to escape.
