Variety Film Review:
By JAY WEISSBERG

The awards keep coming for "Flower in the Pocket," a slip of a film whose genuine humor and lack of pretension, not to mention palpable warmth, set it above the general run of new Malaysian cinema.

Prizes at Pusan and Rotterdam guarantee a healthy fest life, though expectations may be greater than pic's mild charms.
