Nina Li Coomes Chicago Reader Luminous and immersive, at times overwhelmingly so, this film is a realist's ode to the hope that remains after one has survived the unimaginable. Mar 25, 2020 Full Review Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle It's an education suitable for both children ready to see the world's shadows, and for adults who may still not comprehend Southeast Asian history beyond the Vietnam War. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 20, 2019 Full Review Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times "Funan" is a stunning piece of animation in which the beauty of the visuals and the horror of the situation are inextricably intertwined. Jun 14, 2019 Full Review Ally Ham Video Librarian Magazine Funan explores what it is to be human through both the most intense sorrows and the smallest of triumphs. Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Luke Gorham In Review Online Yet, for all this narrative convenience, Do manages to lead his intimate portrait toward an affecting crescendo. Jul 30, 2020 Full Review Christopher L. Inoa Hyperallergic This film is a beautiful and moving tribute not just to Do's mother, but also to Cambodia and its people.

Audience Member One of the best movies I have ever watched Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful and touching movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely magnific cinematography. This movie takes us on a trip through pain, suffering, shock and a bit of an history lesson in an amazing display of simple but gorgeous animation complete with a perfect soundtrack. With a touching story that you'll feel absorbed to and an amazing pacing this movie will leave you hanging on every breath. The environment and tone though were what amazed me the most. Denis Do manages to deliver a nation wide "experience" with a very intense intimacy in a delightful contrast that most directors can't ever acomplish. A must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Accurate and dark - but how else could this horror be depicted? Not your Disney animation. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
