Wexford Plaza
An awkwardly humourous film about a lonely female security guard working at a deteriorating strip mall. Isolated and friendless, a glimmer of hope appears when a charming make-up salesman shows her kindness, leading to an unexpected sexual encounter.
“A millennial’s take on Rashomon, with humour, soul-searching and social media commentary included in the fractured glances. It’s so well put together, it’s hard to believe this is Wong’s first feature.” - Peter Howell, Toronto Star
“A near-miracle of writing, Wexford Plaza breathes life into a Scarborough strip mall.” - Chris Knight, National Post
“Honest, darkly funny, unabashedly raw, and unforgiving in its small scope and big ideas about what it means to really grow up.” - Ally Johnson, The Playlist
“Wong nails the range of emotions that come with leaving your teenage years behind.” - Matthew Passantino, Film Threat
