Gerard Raymond Slant Magazine This is a stark view of Myanmar, so unrelenting that it could tax the patience of the most empathetic audience member. Apr 15, 2014 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film With the pacing so glacial, the predictable story is likely to prove fatal for all but the most patient viewers.

Audience Member There is this concept in storytelling called show not tell. This movie fights against this concept. Every scene is - sit down. Let me tell you my problems. Here are mine. Switch scene. There is no acting. It would have been much more effective either as a documentary or as a collection of vignettes of people going through the problems. It is long, dry, and dull. Poverty does suck but this movie does not evoke any emotion in the viewer. Perhaps in the final scene, which I could not bear to watch. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member It takes a very insightful director to tackle different social matters in this subtle way, never preaching or offering solutions, with a story that unfolds in a careful pace and gives us time to connect with the characters as we closely observe their lives and actions.
