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. But the departure cannot happen as lying somewhere deep within the earth, in the far-off forest is Nam's father, a soldier, whose remains they're compelled to find. Together, following the mysteries of memories and dreams, they retrace the path to the past.

Lovia Gyarkye The 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 Walter Chaw Film Freak Central Truong Minh Quy’s Viet and Nam is a love story, it’s first about lovers meeting and then about how their identities flow into each other like mercury, in constant flux and only ever itself. Rated: 4/4 Nov 26, 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 Read all reviews
