Audience Member A tremendous film. Beautiful and haunting story, acting, and images that stay with you. It should have gotten better release and marketing in the US and Europe. Submitted as an entry for the foreign language film Oscar, but shortsightedly and sadly not nominated (Oscar voters are consistently ‘West-centric’ and ignore the greatest films from Asia). Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/01/19 Full Review Audience Member The best Vietnamese movie I've ever seen! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the most uplifting movies ever made by any director. This is not just another war story from Vietnam, not a tale of a mysterious white silk dress, not a depiction of an impoverished Vietnamese family. No, it is a wonderful ode to all Vietnamese women, their resilience, determination, sagacity, and beauty. The story is brilliantly told, shot, and does have a few surprising turns to keep you in your seat for its two hours and twenty minutes length. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member That sad ending, i didn't like it ,, even that this is the life Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Only watch this if you're in the mood for a slow-burning, depressing foreign film. An impoverished Vietnamese family migrates south in ~1950ish and settles on a flood prone due to a pregnancy. I've been told this film accurately depicts Vietnamese culture. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Marvellous, great story and great movie!
