Inseparable
Dir: Dayyan Eng
2011
**
Inseparable is a nice idea but I'm afraid the contrast between comedy and drama are far too blurred for it to work successfully. It seems to have taken a page out of Fight Club's book and is also rather unfortunately similar to 2009's Paper Hero (AKA Unlikely Hero). I did like the 'double twist' but it was fairly obvious a little too soon for it to have full impact. It's quirky and I like quirky but throughout the film I was waiting for something big to happen but it never came. Pleasant enough but terribly anti-climactic. I do however feel that this is the work of someone who is likely to make great films in the future and I look forward to seeing more from Dayyan Eng.
