#LookAtMe film as having exceeded the Film Classification Guidelines because “it denigrates a religious community”.

The film is set in Singapore and revolves around the protagonist, who is offended by a pastor’s stance on homosexuality. The film also indicates, in its opening frame, that it is “inspired by true events”,

the film has the potential to cause enmity and social division here as the Singapore pastor preaches against homosexuality but engages in behaviour that goes against his religious teachings.

the film is a “work of cinematic fiction” that seeks to “entertain and encourage conversations on important social issues that are relevant to Singapore”.
