Did you know?!Facts and trivia about #LookAtMe (2022)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- On 17 October 2022, Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority refused classification for the film, effectively barring it from being screened in Singapore as a threat to enmity and social division; with the culture and home affairs ministries it also called the pastor character defamatory and contrary to the Maintenance of Religious Harmony Act.
- Ken Kwek's film was inspired by Amos Yee's 2015 vlogs criticizing Lee Kuan Yew and Christianity, along with other real life events.
- Despite the ban, the 2022 Singapore International Film Festival still advertised the film in its line-up, marked unavailable for screening, and director Ken Kwek and the producers chose not to appeal IMDA's decision, judging an appeal's success "exceedingly slim".
