Thanks to a wonderful sense of mounting, Eric Khoo succeeds a genius come back of the Altman model of a back & forth type edifying for the moral. With little means & a perfect framing, the director succeeds in the gutsiest & the most moving narrative bet in a long time.

In order to know deeply the morose mood of well off contemporary individuals, the Asian cinema is always ahead of all the others. It’s indeed again true with BE WITH ME, straight from Singapore.
Libération

Writer/director Eric Khoo and co-writer Wong Kim Hoh have come up with a cerebral solution to the intractable problem of making a Hallmark movie.
The result is Khoo’s most heartfelt and heartwarming movie to date.  It is also the most sophisticated piece of film-making to emerge from the Republic’s budding film scene.
The way Khoo has marshaled his technical skills in the service of more characterization and story marks a new stage in his development.
Be With Me is an emotional maturation.  His tender regard, especially evident in the old shopkeeper’s story, takes his storytelling to the necessary next level.
The movie’s title is a simple plea. Be With Me. You will be rewarded if you answer its call.
The Straits Times – Ong Sor Fern

Slowly – ever so slowly – individual characters are introduced to viewers, who are then called upon to piece the diverse cinematic puzzle together.  Just as the camera likes to linger lovingly on human faces and inanimate objects alike, so too the screenplay, penned by Khoo and Wong Kim Hoh, is a study in verbal economy, with barely a word or two uttered by many of the principal characters.  Most of the narrative comes in the form of subtitled text from Chan’s manuscript.
This minimalist approach works because we are left to focus on feelings and emotions rather than dialogue.  Meanwhile, Singapore is presented as a city bereft of its usual bustle and sheen, with many scenes taking place in simple homes, empty corridors and quiet streets.
After wowing the audience at Cannes and winning distribution deals in Europe, Be With Me is compelling proof that a Singapore film can successfully stand up to scrutiny from a sophisticated international  art house crowd.  Thanks to Khoo’s fine cinematic eye, it fully deserves to do the same over here.
The Business Times – Geoffrey Eu

One small, lovely film from Singapore made human communication its explicit subject – Eric Khoo’s “Be With Me”…..  When I mentioned “Be With Me” at the beginning of this piece, I did so with a conviction that it deserves wide distribution, and will find an appreciative audience.  Almost silent and mysteriously disjointed at first, the film comes together into something that’s as accessible as it is beautiful.
The Wall Street Journal – Joe Morgenstern

Be With Me is an act of romantic longing captured on film.  Eric Khoo proves again why he’s Singapore’s most talented filmmaker.
Time – Bryan Walsh

I was in tears by the end, which is fairly rare.
The New York Times – Manohla Dargis

The true story is of the amazing Theresa Chan, a deaf and blind 61-year-old who is kind of like Southeast Asia’s Helen Keller.  When Khoo simply focuses on Chan’s history and her day-to-day existence, the minimalism is cranked up.  Rather than halting the film in its tracks, this elevates Be With Me to another level entirely.

STUDIO

An undelivered love letter
An unanswered, brittle mobile phone
A meal prepared with heart and soul
For your beloved
Or for a stranger.
Through Eric Khoo’s camera lens, we can see his mission:  finding a way out in a lonely metropolis for the downtrodden, the fragile, and the defeated, who are both among us and like us.  Watching the old man’s face and his embrace with the blind lady, I am deeply moved.
