In the depths of the underground coal mines, where danger awaits and darkness prevails, Nam and Việt, both young miners, cherish fleeting moments, knowing that one of them will soon leave for a new life across the sea.

Lovia Gyarkye Hollywood Reporter Quy has accomplished something special with Viet and Nam. Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Eric Henderson Slant Magazine Truong Minh Quy’s new queer romance-cum-sociohistorical lament mines beauty from both collective desolation and individual endurance. Rated: 3/4 Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety Viet and Nam makes demands on even the most patient of viewers if they’re in any way resistant to the hypnotizing effect of its difficult, doom-laden atmospherics. But it does exert a powerful gravity on those who can give themselves over. May 29, 2024 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Viêt and Nam is a beautiful, enigmatic, painful, and at times, fascinating film. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella Edge Media Network "Viet and Nam" can be quite frustrating with its arty, murky, opaque style...even the gay scenes weren't so much erotic as impersonal. Still, there was something quite mesmerizing about it. Rated: B- Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Luke Hicks The Film Stage Minh Quý’s slow-cinema sensibilities are nothing short of spellbinding, the trance of rumination within reason enough to seek it out. Rated: B+ Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
