The Review

Every movie has its own moral dilemma, and cautionary tale to educate it’s viewers, and ‘Love Cuts’ get straight to the point as it showcase the plight of women who suffers from breast cancer.

Such a weepy drama could not have had a better choice in the lead role than Queen of Caldecott Hill herself, Zoe Tay.

The film starts off slow, but it rather picked up in the latter half. It has excellent character development, with the story backdrop well told. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself emotionally attached to the character.

To me this movie seems more like a full extended feature public service announcement film.

The Good

• Well scripted
• Excellent message

The Bad

• Somewhat depressing to watch
