'Wet Season' review: Singaporean fertility drama centers on a teacher

(The following review is brought to you by longtime Athens Banner-Herald film writer Andrew Shearer. To support his work and continue seeing coverage of the local film industry like this, please consider an OnlineAthens.com digital subscription: www.onlineathens.com/subscribenow.)
In Singapore, it rains around 167 days out of the year, with an average of 10 inches per month throughout November, December and January. It’s a safe assumption that maintaining a good mood and positive outlook could prove challenging.
That’s the setting for writer-director Anthony Chen’s latest feature film, “Wet Season,” the follow-up to his award-winning 2013 debut, “Ilo Ilo.” The Mandarin and English-language drama will be available for streaming rental via the “virtual cinema” platform at Athens Ciné on May 14.

The Times is committed to reviewing theatrical film releases during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because moviegoing carries risks during this time, we remind readers to follow health and safety guidelines as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health officials.
Just describing the plot of Anthony Chen’s “Wet Season,” Singapore’s Oscar entry this year, doesn’t do justice to the effectiveness of how carefully the story unfolds. This is a familiar narrative that could easily turn tawdry: Ling (Yann Yann Yeo), unhappy in her marriage, becomes close with one of her students, Wei Lun (Koh Jia Ler), their connection pushing the boundaries of the teacher/student relationship. Writer-director Chen, along with the two leads, delicately navigates this story, and the result is something deeply humanist and nuanced rather than sensational, though the rainy milieu adds drama to the proceedings.

Review: In Singapore's 'Wet Season,' a teacher is trapped by life, low-key script

Talented director Andrew Chen’s “Wet Season” is about a high school teacher who is constantly surrounded by people, yet utterly alone.
Ling (Yeo Yann Yann) teaches Mandarin to several disinterested teenagers at a boys school in Singapore, a city-state where English is the main language. Her job-obsessed husband is barely around (there’s no surprise when he is revealed to be having an affair) leaving her to care for her disabled father-in-law.

Wet Season Movie Review

Wet Season Movie Review
Strand Releasing
Grade: B+
Release Date: April 23, 2021
Abdominal injections, vaginal ultrasounds and artificial inseminations are all part of daily lives of women aged thirty-five-plus who want to conceive a child but are unable to.
Wet Season introduces us to one Ling, (Yeo Yann Yann), a Mandarin language teacher in a boys school in Singapore. Ling’s daily routine includes: administering daily injections of fertility drugs into her stomach, and giving elementary care to her disabled father-in-law (Yang Shi Bin), while having very little interaction with husband Andrew (Christopher Lee), who has given up on their eight-year old marriage and does not bother accompanying her to gynecological appointments. Her students seem polite but care little about studying Mandarin in a country, where English is the “lingua franca”, used in daily business transactions and sprinkled sporadically in personal conversations.
