Everyone has family issues of some sort, and it's especially true with Asian/Vietnamese kids. This movie was able to grasp certain aspects of trauma and the healing afterward wirh the help of good cinematography and sound design. The acting overall was better than most Vietnamese movies in recent years especially the girl and the mother. Some dialogues from the brother-in-law and the girl are still a bit forced but they are at least have good meaning and lessons to it. Some might find it too much.
The movie can be described as an emotional ride with some silly comedic moments that are mostly well executed. It's enjoyable and will be very powerful for people that has been through the same situation.
The sound design and visual effect are done very well to help the viewer laugh and also make flashback scenes better. There is no laziness to be found in the writing, directing and editing of the movie which is pretty rare in the Vietnamese movie market.
Overall this is a family movie that can be enjoyed by everyone. If you expect an action movie with logical actions, you won't have it here. The movie is to be enjoyed and to be reflected depending on each one's experience in life. A rare and well-done movie that can be watched mutilple times.
