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 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. Rated: A Jan 24, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
