​A perfect harmony of color, sound, and imagery.

​The film portrays a Hanoi that is both poetic and vibrant, yet deeply imbued with quiet aches. Brilliant sunny days, torrential downpours, and silent nights—intertwined with the chirping of birds, the hum of cicadas, and the ambient sounds of the streets—all converge to create an exquisite, aesthetic masterpiece.

​Perhaps nothing is more beautiful than huddling together, sharing stories while preparing a meal.

stiff dialogues and Vietnamese pronunciation, as typical of Tran Anh Hung's films. But the cinematography and slow Hanoi scenes make me so nostalgic that they alone deserve a 4 stars.
