Troi Sang Roi, Ta Ngu Di Thoi

This movie is honestly good. The plot reminds me of Before sunrise but everything else is just amazing by itself.Let's start with the movie's strongest point: music. The soundtracks are pretty much the characters' thoughts and emotions being sung out loud. Their appearances throughout the movie are not annoying at all.Together with the script, they are able to tell the story of two young people in Saigon perfectly. Another great point of this movie is the script. It is simple yet enough. The conversations are well written. They don't feel awkward,they are witty and yet they don't lack the depth in it. This, along with their acting skill, helps a lot with the chemistry between the leading actor and actress. Other than that, film editing is a plus point to this movie. I really like the part where they add some fun illustrations to spice things up. They absolutely help telling the story better and they also make the movie look like a music video. And finally, this movie perfectly captures the vibe of its settings,Saigon.Throughout the movie, you can discover the beauty Saigon little by little. The cafes, the restaurant, the church and the streets. Everything just so youthful, bustling and somewhat romantic. In conclusion, this movie is enjoyable and I have no complaint about it. After watching it, I deeply regret not watching this in the theater. It's such a pity that this was not a box office hit due to the promotion strategy.

This is an extremely wonderful movie. This movie is light and full of peace. The movie does not have a drama like the another current ones. The film's plot is gentle and close. Two music lovers meet each other over a grab ride. This is not a hot love story like the usual Vietnamese films. They are just two human beings who share the same soul. In the whole movie, I can see they don't have a confession, or an act of hugging or kissing, but I can feel the feelings between these two people. A deep, soothing story reminds me to slow down to feel my life more.

It seems like a happy musical. However, this movie is all about youngsters with depressions in a deeper story. Suicide is a sensitive subject amongst this community. I wish we all care enough so no one has to suffer anymore.
