Sapparoe (2023)

Dropped at about 1h in. Logically, this is a wholesome comedy that deal with subjects like death, mental health issues and suicide in a creative and approachable manner. I think it is the first of its kind in Thailand to do that, and that's probably one of the reasons why it did so well domestically. They definitely deserve praise for raising more awareness for those topics. I've seen the topics dealt with in more serious dramas, and unfortunately, most Thais just weren't interested. As an example, take a look at the reception for Club Friday's Love Never Dies that deals with mental health issues, death and loss.

Emotionally, I just couldn't feel any connection with the story or characters. I got an hour in before dropping it. It's half the movie, so I feel like I gave it a fair shot.

If anyone feels like I do about the beginning of the movie and went on to finish it and it does pick up, please do let me know.
