Present Perfect (2014)

This movie is quite short, especially when comparing it to movie's these days that run for at least 2 hours. I was contemplating watching this movie because of it only being 44 minutes long, but i'm glad i didn't make that stop me from watching it. I'm a big fan of thai romcoms and this one will be added to my must watch list. The movie is really a jem, and since it's only 44 minutes long, there wasn't a single second where i was bored. The movie is simple yet quite complicated at the same time. The movie is also very cleanly filmed and doesn't rush through anything.

it's a heartwarming movie that centres around a girl in her 20's and a child that she is forced to take care of while her sister(the mother of the child) goes on a business trip. I liked this movie because it centers around these two characters and their growth together, rather than wasting screen time on unnecessary love lines, although there still is a minor one. Their relationship builds throughout the film and you could really feel the chemistry with the two. the child is also extremely cute so beware of that. The movie builds the viewers emotions towards the two characters throughout the film, so you may need a tissue box. Overall, there is definitely a really great message that is sent with this movie that will touch anybody's hearts.

They say the first impression is too important !
Well this is what happened to me while watching this movie ! "Present Perfect" was my first ever Thai movie , and to be honest I was extremely doubtful about watching it . I think the poster attracted me , but when I read the summary I was like : This is a very simple story ! I mean I can mention over 10 movies with the same plot ... But they say , in today's Cinema industry It's not the adventures of movie that matters the most ! It's the way YOU MAKE IT ! And this movie did it the BEST WAY EVER !
This very simple story is about an alone (a little) pensive young girl , Pam , who tries hard to comfort her spiritual wounds by entertaining herself with parties , people , drinks , loud music etc !
One day UK enters her life ! a naughty cute kid who amazingly changes Pam's empty , dark world and I won't brag if I say UK actually brings her to LIFE !
The complictaed , irrelevant relationship of Pam & Uk greatly grows when Pam accepts that she can do nothing but entering her pure , childish world and becoming a brand new person !
I loved the way they showed a child's true feeling towards what most people do ! The things we might enjoy so much but to them , they're boring , ridiculous and completely useless (the same feeling of most adults about the children's acts , you know ! ) !!!
Acting was so good but let me confess that nobody's acting was as GREAT as that little star , UK ! She made me like : WOW !!! she's a hidden super star !
MUSIC WAS GREAT ! I had no idea of Thai music but it was a roller-coster of emotions for me !
I will surly recommend this amazing family movie to everyone and ... though it was my fist Thai movie , I'm pretty sure that It won't be my last ^^
