Perfect Family

Directed by Shamalan Nagayai and Wong Zhao Quan

With Dexter Zhen, Siew Thung, Joyce Harn, Rashid Salleh and Benjamin Tan Kah Jen

Siew Bong is, with respect, quite an average person. He’s unexceptional in anything and has not achieved much, which typically isn’t a problem until he has to meet his girlfriend’s ultra-rich, ultra-high-achieving family that believes in flawlessness as the highest form of human value, a value especially upheld and enforced by the tyrannical matriarch of the family, Antoinette. Things turn south over a family dinner when Siew Bong’s beliefs on a person’s value grinds against the family’s facade of perfectionism.
