Mai

This is a beautiful story about the character Mai's journey to find happiness. The character's psychology is portrayed deeply and complexly. The director gave us a deep dive into the character's psychology. This is not a simple romantic movie. This is a movie about life and happiness in every person. Although there are still many errors in the storytelling, this is a significant mark of Vietnamese films. From the film we can see the careful investment in content, images, script and message conveyed. The actors have devoted a lot to their roles. In short, this is a movie worth watching. An incredible cinematic mark from Tran Thanh.

First, i never watched vietnamese movies in my entire life. But this made me speechless especially the one who act as MAI.

And the plot twists is so amazing even already knew this twists but it still amaze me. That's incridible.

Great directing, perfect actors (i mean MAI coz she is the main character), Very nice DOP, Camera Lighting, Editing, Color Grading, Audio mixing.., ect.

I'm really wondering why vietnemes movie is so improve within these years.

Well done guys, and i really appreciate everyone whoever.perticipate in this incridible movie. Thank you...Thank you so much.

With Lots of Love from Myanmar.

I think I never really watch a lot of Vietnamese film in my life, when this movie release on streaming service, I never really interested to watch it, but when all the hype rising about how good this movie is, I just watch, want to try Vietnamese cinema. I think what is strong from this movie is the female lead, she is so incredibly beautiful, you cannot take eyes off her. Then the story is riveting, it keep you on the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next. I think the story move very smoothly, all the characters are interesting enough to keep your interest. Especially Phuong Anh Dao, I watch a lot of movie but I think I never seen any actress that is so breathtaking like her, I'm gonna start marathon Vietnamese cinema, dig in a bit what's good they have.

Unlike toandph I thought Mai was a very well made movie.

I thought the script was well written and the movie was well directed.

I'm amazed, in general, by how far Viet Nam has gotten in terms of artistry and music videos. We have came very far from the home made music videos to the short movie music videos that can compete compared to Korea and US. Mai is the first movie that follows that development.

Phuong Anh impersonated Mai tremendously in form of acting and maybe more so looks. She plays it like it was her autobiography. Cinematography, editing, and directing was on point for me also. I was taken aback by the one shot scenes, especially.

Altogether, I think Mai is very worth watching and I hope there's more to come from Viet Nam.
