Genre Drama, Romance

An anthology of three stories of love and solitude: An aging, lonesome shopkeeper doesn't care about life since his wife died; a security guard in his fifties falls in love with a pretty executive living in his building; and two teenage schoolgirls get to know each other on the internet. Soon they fall in love.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

TV Guide Magazine by Ken Fox

Singaporean writer-director Eric Khoo's third feature is a beautiful, contemplative study of love -- unrequited, unfulfilled and reborn.

Village Voice by Michael Atkinson

Sometimes clumsy and dry, always sympathetic, and wryly interested in the impact food has on social intercourse, Be With Me is eventually affecting once its elliptical shape becomes clear.

The New York Times by Stephen Holden

The fact that her story of triumph over unimaginable odds doesn't come freighted with mystical and religious bromides makes it all the more inspiring.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

It might take a while to figure out what is happening, because Khoo provides no expository dialogue. But viewers' patience will be rewarded as the stories come together in a moving fashion.
