This review may contain spoilers
Definitely worth watching! A painfully beautiful film.
/ Long personal interpretation of everything that played out, explain (?) / details will be further below.
Everything was just stunning: cinematography, the acting, locations, to the sound in the film. It's a queer, sapphic coming-of-age story that's complex, heart-wrenching, and realistic showing the complexitiy of life, people, the uncertainty of adolescence, what it means to grow up in the police flat and the societal aspects of it. (it covers topic from self-image, identity, love, dreams, social class and opportunity differences, unjust police system to difficult family/financial circumstances.
A tear-jerker filled with details to catch.
FLAT girls left a huge impression with how it was delivered. I absolutely loved how impressively detailed and layered the characters and film is for us to uncover. It felt like watching real people. Our stance frames the narratives of the film, while the characters has their perspective. The film leaves room for you to think, interpret and judge for yourself adding emotional depth and feels "human" in a way. Behind every actions, emotions and words, there are reasons which may hold a deeper meaning. Meanwhile, when feelings are kept and words are left unsaid without clarification, it's easy for misunderstandings and assumptions to occur– much like in real life.
Every scene/dialogue mean something to the characters. The more I went back, the more I understood the characters, their reasons and the possibilities– making the film special although it wasn't difficult to watch and I loved it the first time. The movie naturally aligned after viewing it through the characters lens and circumstances. Despite the layers of struggles, dilemmas, uncertainty, and the harsh circumstances beyond their control, there was still warmth, kindness, love, dreams, and resilience. I felt for the characters but gained a lot from them. I think how the film goes may differ with different takeaways but it's extremely well done.
The actresses chemistry was so natural and endearing while the acting by the casts was incredible. Watching it on the big screen was such an experience that I kept going back to appreciate it although it had me bawling with many thoughts. Another great film by GDH, and it easily became my favourite. A movie that lingers.

/ Feelings:
Ann has feelings for Jane. When Jane felt nothing & wasn't sure how to interpret their kiss, Ann went along. I think Ann realised her feelings and her sadness knowing it wasn't mutual. Ann could have put her feelings first but she didn't. Instead, she reassured Jane who was confused and hid her feelings. Ann is clear about her wants and likes, but that's not that case for Jane.
Jane's figuring out. She might not know how loving someone feels like especially intimacy with how young she is, but Ann means a lot to her. Jane is happy around Ann but felt nothing kissing her– as Jane slowly felt comfortable and happy around Tong, it got her questioning. Everything changed once Jane thought Ann & Tong were a thing. The scenes with Jane upset, was because of Ann.
/ Identity:
- In an early scene, Ann casually tells Jane, “The clean one is in another bag.” (chest binder) Does Ann wear it too (?) I think Ann helps her with laundry to hide it from Jane's parents. Jane switched the clean one with the dirty one, made sure her dad was asleep before removing it and told Tong not to tell her mom. Even Jane's parents doesn't know, but Ann knows Jane.
- Jane “It's nothing, I won't wear it anymore” to Tong / was to cover up as she still wore it-
- Because, Tong didn’t judge her. Someone else who understands her.
- Jane may have thought she wasn't a tomboy after her kiss with Ann / removed the binder.
- Jane's finding herself.
/ Alleged relationship between Ann and Tong:
Personally, the entire relationship between Tong & Ann was built on a series of misunderstandings. Considering Tong's actions, Ann's feelings for Jane and importantly my perspective of Ann & her determination. Tong had been caring, but Ann had always worked hard for money. (Laundry/Selling food/Wanting to teach English).
Some scenes/dialogues had no clear basis & felt out of place (because the characters isn't telling us). Any interpretation lacks overall clarity as some dialogues/scenes matches with it, while others don't.
(*the movie wants viewers to draw their conclusions*)
/ Scene of Ann getting her phone in Tong's house.
- Uncomfortably in Jane's perspective.
- Had Ann seen Jane inside, she would've misunderstood as well.
What did or didn't happen—up to interpretation.
*Put on his shirt before letting Ann in (mannerism) = Removed when she left.
(Phone on the bed): Tong lets Ann sleep there instead of the couch. He returned after she left. Did Ann even stay over?
(Checked outside before Ann left): Perhaps to avoid any potential misunderstandings, but Jane was inside. The environment is tight; it’s easy for neighbours to see & misunderstand.
- Ann didn't want to go home.
- The same night, Tong comforted Ann with her dilemmas about giving up her dreams so her family could have a home. Given her young age and all the responsibilities weighing on her, his words "You can be something much better," "You don't have to be a big sister all the time," & "It's okay"–
He mentioned, *"If you need help with anything, you can always tell me."*
Before, Tong was warm to the kids and treated Jane like his child because of their similarities.
- The sudden switch in the characters/dynamic was too abrupt to follow along without any doubts.
- The sequence didn't make sense.
- If anything else, I am assuming.
/ Jane and Ann's misunderstanding (bench)
There was tension before anything. But Ann doesn't know what Jane had seen. Instead, Ann did see Tong and Jane being close, and Jane, vice versa.
(What I do know is, Ann thinks that Jane likes Tong, while Jane is here thinking that Ann & Tong have some relationship.)
> Jane looking at her extra racket > She's thinking of Ann, not Tong.
> Ann meets Jane, while holding a new badminton racket from Tong, "knowing" that Jane likes him.
> Jane meets Ann, "confirms" their relationship after seeing Ann with her new racket from Tong
- Ann never took anything or the racket from Jane.
- Ann thinks that Jane is upset because of Tong.
Jane got upset & ran off; Ann chased after her.
/ More of Jane and Ann's misunderstanding (stairs)
Jane: "I thought you wouldn't date a cop?
(Does Jane knows the reason she's upset?)
Ann: "Well, he gives me money" (he probably did)
I honestly think that Ann was masking her feelings & going off based on Jane's assumptions.
Jane: "Do you know anything about love?" (Jane, who doesn't know what love is)
Ann: "Love only matters to those with money." (Jane, Tong, or both),
"How can a person like me dare to love someone?" which Jane didn't catch.
Couldn't link Ann's replies to "for money". Instead Ann was talking about herself and how she's unworthy to love Jane.
(This was after Ann realises their differences during the phone call & her witnessing Jane "having feelings" for Tong / comparison )
"Well, he gives me money" could be a figure-of-speech to how Ann thinks that only those with money to give like Tong, can love not meaning that they're dating. But, I truly wonder if Ann thinking that Jane "likes" Tong played a part in that reply.
/ Jane's mom noticed Ann with money
Jane: "She receives it from Tong because they're together."
Her mom: **"But he doesn't have money and even borrows from me."** ( *"All good cops has no money"* / was Ann's money solely from Tong?)
/ Jane collecting money from Tong.
*Ann's family is in need, he's happy to help make ANN's life a bit easier, just like how he's happy when he's able to take care of JANE.* (This highlighted he's helping Ann & Jane's misunderstanding)
But, Tong's helping Ann yet Jane is upset (?)
1. She think Ann and Tong are dating.
2. While Ann had never accepted any of Jane's help, she is receiving help from Tong who is struggling.
(Ann likely doesn't know about Tong's struggles while Jane always wanted to help Ann)
/ Tong gets emotional after Jane leaves; It could be his reality.
He doesn't have money for himself, let alone anyone else, not even his child. He's doing everything but it's incomparable to her stepdad who's rich. "Couldn't come because he had no money." (did they separate because of money? why can't he visit?)
- But he "can do something" for the kids at the flat.
- He mentioned to Jane "They have a new family" “it’s better that way”.
(How he treats the kids, spend time & calls Jane warmly would make sense, he can't do the same with his child who's away in another province.)
- He likely have his own family/financial circumstances and reasons.
/ The interaction between Tong & Ann wasn't awkward (court)
- Tong mentioned he plans to study law for a promotion & wanted to learn English from Ann
(If Ann did receive help from him, pretty sure this is how Ann would give back)
- The pan-out scene with neighbours gossiping about Ann and Tong from above the court
(It look like they were spreading rumours with the environment and their expressions. Ann, uncomfortable / *Tong, questioning*)
/ The rumours of Tong and Ann dating spread because of Jane.
- Ann exploded at Jane because her mom is now tying her already bleak situation down with marriage to Tong for money.
/ It didn't feel like they got "caught".
(In a interview, the director mentioned about how women who lived in the flat tend to grow up believing the need to rely on men and that they're incapable to earn) But,
/ Ann didn't want to be like her friend, tied to the flat after marriage.
She mentioned: she's afraid that she'd be unable to leave; Her friend's life seemed to have stopped at the flat, unable to go to university or even come out for a game of badminton.
/ Jane chasing Ann, who ran away to the pier
Jane: "You won't marry him, right?" (misunderstanding)
Ann: "Do you really like him that much?" (misunderstanding) / would Ann ask if they had some relationship?
Jane: "I don't know, but he's not good enough for you to stop your life for him." "Don't you want to leave this place"?
- Jane's piority > Ann.
- Jane tells Ann she believes in her (even though Ann is doubting herself)
- Jane comforting and apologising to Ann.
/ Tong & Ann, pier scene.
- Tong telling Ann to bring the kids tomorrow; he'll bring them all to the cruise. (He brought it up out of nowhere instead of clearing up their "situation". He knew Ann was hurting with everything and wanted to make her happy)
- Ann tells Tong she'll live with him immediately if he could give her 10m baht ( Again, I don't think Ann would even ask if they already had some sort of relationship / Her mom pressured her: "So what did Tong say about the money". )
Ann asked that for her family = giving up her way of life. Her mom still blamed her for everything in a later scene.
/ How Tong looked at Ann. He probably felt terrible for her having to bring that up and knew that she's thinking of leaving.
- Tong said something like "Don't leave me ( in Thai, it doesn't indicate 'me' ); I'm trying my best, and I need time,"
/ Tong's response could stem from his complex feelings as well.
He knew that she wanted to leave, he doesn't have the money for her to stay, wanting to help but unable to. With his situation, whereby his family left (why?) , how he's unable to provide for his child as much as he wanted despite covering shifts and really "trying his best" (in a corrupted workforce), it could trigger those replies / Ann asked for money
With Ann's "I can't wait long"
/He switched/ & gave her assurance. Told her that *"She could earn as much money as she wanted.* (Also, maybe like the importance of Ann to Jane in the flat, the kids' presence was significant to Tong. He wanted to help Ann stay, but knew that with her family situation, being stucked here wasn’t what she wanted)
- Ann: "I know" (Her determination & her knowing her capabilities after the reassurance from Tong and Jane.)
/ *Ann saying they broke up to her mom* (The only indicator of a 'relationship")
But it felt like she didn’t want to explain. No point in it— her mom wouldn't listen anyway. A way to end her mom’s ideas of marrying her off for money. / *Ann's body language*
/ Jane & Nice painted all the names on the wall, including Tong.
(That made him seem significant. He got emotional seeing the names with all the changes at the end. If he's a bad person, they wouldn't have painted his name & why did he get emotional?)
ENDING! (aside from everything else)
- Ann's ending > hopeful or the worst.
I believe that Ann ran away to chase her dream. (She almost hung the scarf but let it free.)
I believe she is "stronger". The cruise scene symbolised how she didn't want to return to her life at the flat perfectly. To make sense, I just think she hid somewhere on the cruise avoiding Jane, as it was far out. I believe she'll manage and achieve anything once she sets her mind to it, like how she was determined to leave and did so. It is not selfish of her. I hope she's happy.
- *Jane holding the paper hat (Part time/Full Time).
- "I hope we bump into each other on a plane, because you have to take me to first class," indicating that Ann is around.
- Ann's family and Jane weren't that "sad" either, although Jane was.
1. Who hung the packet of food outside Jane's flat?
2. Tong started hanging out with other cops after the kids left. (The dialogue is honestly questionable... but I don't know the context. I want to believe in him & that promotion)
3. Ann mom, please change– Although it seems unlikely with Ann's sister taking over her role.
4. Amy grew up! (Ann's sis) Showed some time had passed with Jane's mom having the money to move out. Ann's mom debt / paid off? who did?)
5. What were Jane's actual feelings for Ann?
Was it just Ann's unrequited love? or was Jane hiding it from Ann as well? Or does she have feelings all along & realise it after? (Based on imdb synopsis, Jane liked Ann.)
Hope Jane still appreciates simple happiness & slowly figures it out. Hope that her mom will try to talk to Jane more.
6. Will Ann and Jane meet again?
Ann and Jane misunderstood each other and their feelings until the very end. "Love is more important than money" to "Love only matters to those with money". Although Ann almost wanted to give up everything for her family, she ended up running away to chase her dream for a change. I do feel that Ann will return once she's in a better position, at least to Jane.
7. Ann did fulfil her promise to Jane about going on the boat.
Anyway I only wish all of them well :')
