Brilliant and touching

Better Late Then Never

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I just watched this movie. Such a great movie! Safe to say one of the best I've ever watched. It was so... authentic!Personally, as a Vietnamese American, I admit I will be a little biased in reviewing this movie. At the same time, I don't usually write review so this review wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for this movie.I love every single main character, namely Moon and the two brothers. Their relationship with the viewers and with each other develops very nicely throughout the movie. It was simple and genuine yet also very complex and emotional.The images, the angles, the music, the CGI, basically all the artistic elements of this movie worked very well! Beautiful sceneries mixed in with authentic crises are what made this movie so mesmerizing. I was so glad I was able to watch the movie. Vietnamese film has definitely come a long way.

The film was made by Vietnamese director Victor Vu. A film is all about the stories in a small Vietnamese village. The film bring the viewer a gentle feeling. I was strongly affected by the green grass scenes of the countryside, the folk music and the characters. They remind me about every beautiful things in my childhood, those boys who has no reason but fighting each others, our first love,.... Three kids have their own characters but still innocent and full of love. The most favorite scenes of mine is Thieu holds the frog,cries and runs in the rain in slow motion. But the stories has nothing special. In fact, there has unconnected movie script, makes me feel something was missing. But it still a good movie to relax.

Victor Vu is one of the best directors in Viet Nam, and he gave us an awesome film which based on Nguyen Nhat Anh's "I see yellow flowers on the green grass" Entire of the film is a story about Thieu and his little brother - Tuong. Everything run slowly, smoothly with many beautiful pictures in Phu Yen province's countryside. The background of the film is in 1989, viewers can have a overview about Viet Nam at that time: poor, destitute but truly full of love. Following 2 little boys's story, viewers will seem to be come back to their childhood with traditional games, works and even the change in thought of Thieu - teenage boy. It is very pure, sincere but selfish. I bet that all people always want to keep in mind all of their memories about that. From my point of view, the bigger drama, the more completion. Let's enjoy the movie and recall your childhood!

Most significant cinematography masterpiece from Victor Vu yet.The movie is set in 1980's rural area of Vietnam and the story follows 12-year old Thieu, his 7-year old brother Tuong and Thieu's childhood crush Moon. The brothers do everything together, play in rice paddies, running errands, sleep on same bed...their days are filled with curious adventures. Then one day Moon comes into the picture and incites Thieu's insecurities and jealousy towards his brother Tuong who, by hid nature, is trusting and full of innocence. Even when Thieu inflicts physical harm to Tuong, the younger brother continues to idolize Thieu and constantly seeks his approval.One could easily pick up that the movie is a string of small episodes involving the lives of these three characters in rural area where resources are scarce and that the welfare sometimes depends on the sacrifices made.
