Synopsis:
The film is a rich and poignant exploration of the struggle for identity in a place where the past weighs heavily on the present. Kit (Henry Golding) returns to Ho Chi Minh City for the first time since he was six years old when his family fled the country in the aftermath of the Vietnam-American war. Struggling to make sense of himself in a city he's no longer familiar with, he embarks on a personal journey across the country that opens up the possibility for friendship, love and happiness.

Return of the place of my birth - Monsoon review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
30/11/2020

A charming film about a now British subject returning to his birth home and the experiences he has meeting people who knew him and his family and hook ups he had made prior to his journey.  Very watchable film and the story flows a steady pace and gives an insight into the experience of a person returning to their birth place many years later!

Homecoming Drama that is Unexciting and Maudlin - Monsoon review by GI

Spoiler Alert
02/07/2021

Heartfelt, maudlin and occasionally a sweet drama about a man who returns to his roots in an attempt at discovering himself. Henry Golding is Kit, a British Vietnamese born gay man who left his home country aged six when his family escaped at the end of the Vietnam war. There's a thoughtfulness to this film, a tale about reconciliation with something that can't quite be reconciled, there's subtly painful reunions and a touching romance when Kit meets lewis, an American fashion designer and they begin a relationship. Overall I found the film a bit too melancholy and a tad boring but it's a restrained story with a good central performance.
