I watched this by chance when it was featured on Viki and I definitely don't regret it. It was only half an hour long but the story, acting and music was amazing. I loved the feel and it was totally heartbreaking. It's definitely worth watching.

Thailand knows how to pull on some heart strings.

This is the sweetest little short I have seen in a long time.
The story has a nice flow and you are pulling for the characters as you watch!
And banging your head on a wall for them too!

Uhg, I will watch this again for sure.

Beautiful movie... It gives a strong feeling and is very personal. It is presented in warm-tone color grading and slow-paced story. However, the plot is still very enjoyable. The music was just fit the story. Overall, the movie is like a realistic version of fairy-tale.

And oh, not to mention, the main characters look very charming. They also act so well.

I felt star-struck, heart-broken, and weak all because of this half an hour movie,
I sincerely feel so grateful for being able to watch this movie.

It's an amazing but very sad story. Super quick and all but for a first timer like me (where I didn't expect 'that') it's super heartbreaking and I really regret watching it. I wish I had never watched it like ever. It's all about regret I think, in and out of the story. The regret of what we missed out in life, and the regret of not finding the courage before it's too late. I would highly recommend this if you're looking for something sad and depressing to watch but I wouldn't recommend it ever if you're looking for some bright spots in life. :(

Less is so much more

The story for this is rich enough it could easily have been made into a full length film or series.

It would have been less if it had. The acting and directing are exquisite. They convey everything they need to tell this story through a look, or a few words. Together, this richness and brevity make for an emotionally powerful story. There is nothing extraneous to dilute its impact.

Cinematography and music complement it well, making the perfect atmosphere.

Cannot recommend this one highly enough. It is quietly, gently, heartbreakingly beautiful.

"Those are shoes. And that, That's Called A Fool" An Overlooked Masterpiece, by Anyone's Standards

An Overlooked Masterpiece, by Anyone's Standards

Even though it is one of the saddest movies I have ever watched, I originally watched, it is so hard not to watch again and again and again...

You are rooting so hard for this couple to get together that you forget it is just a film!

And after the dicscovery is made, you feel so sad for the young beautiful librarian and all the pain and sadness she went through for nothing...

All the cast, makin and support, made this short movie very real and you forget time for awhile!

The music is almost perfect, the cinematography is great and the library helper is so funny and supportive of the main plot!

NOTE: while her support librarian Niti Chaichitathorn, (Pompam) has gone on to star on multiple movies our lovely anti-heroine has only starred in a handful of movies since this one (the list for her is incomplete here, by the way!)

RE-WATCH: Definitely!

Honestly I don't remember much from this movie since it has been a while since I watched it. But I remember the overall vibe of it which was very nice. The love story was sweet and I was absolutely rooting for the leads to be together since they made such a nice and cute couple.
I didn't like the fl's gay colleague that much, to be honest since he was portrayed in such a stereotypical way but the wedding scene was really cute.
Despite it being a short movie one could experience a variety of emotions while watching this. Not the best movie I have ever seen but a decent one. I would recommend it if you're searching for something short and emotional.
