Barry Hertz Globe and Mail A film that feels both tender and just tough enough, its edges shaved down just so. Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Rose Ho The Asian Cut An exquisitely beautiful film to watch and experience. Rated: 4/5 Aug 2, 2025 Full Review Sarah Gopaul Digital Journal Director Charles-Olivier Michaud’s adaptation of Kim Thúy’s award-winning novel takes liberties in portraying the narrative, but maintains the emotions expressed on the page. Jan 27, 2024 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate Director Charles-Olivier Michaud unnecessarily drags things out in the early going, but once Ru puts all of its pieces together, it becomes a truly special drama that almost justifies the slow burn approach. Rated: 6/10 Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Liz Braun Original Cin Director Charles-Olivier Michaud’s tender, visually lovely film adaptation of award-winning author Kim Thuy’s novel about her experience as a Vietnamese refugee is a credit to her love letter to Canadians.
