A raw and poetic adventure

Bailed out after an hour

Walked out after an hour and wish I had left earlier. The scenes are choppy and seem to be spliced one after the other with no connection or flow. Absolutely no character development, making it hard to care, and the choice of deliberately unappealing images and settings throughout do not help. From the excruciatingly slow opening scene I should have realised that the director had no intention of immersing the viewer in the story. Unfortunately I gave it a full hour before walking out. Should you be in the need of an unappealing, very slow story that seems to go nowhere, this may be for you. If not I suggest you avoid this one.

Beautiful & Maddening

There is a lot of Viet and Nam that is good, very good. Many of the images and scenes this film gave to me will linger in my mind's eye forever. The overarching story is also basically solid and one I was willing to explore as I came to know the individual characters. Unfortunately, the editing and seemingly random and disparate jumps in time both backwards, forwards, and sideways made for a maddening viewing experience. Often times this structuring makes it difficult to engage with the story and characters. However, in spite of this I was still able to connect with these characters, care about their fates and was rooting for them. Which makes the challenging arrangement of its parts all the more frustrating. I'm not sure why the director decided to make Viet and Nam so difficult for the viewer, but despite this there are some moments and characters worth exploring for the patient and romantic amongst us.
