All Critics (8) | Top Critics (4)

Kalyanee Mam's documentary feature reveals the anguishing sense of loss behind a profusion of ravishingly beautiful images.

Top Critic

Mam's camera work is exquisite in its immediacy and agility.

October 10, 2013 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
Top Critic

Instead of delving into the politics of their plight, Ms. Mam delivers a universal story.

October 3, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
Top Critic

For the most part, the narrative here feels generational, representative, rather than invested in the specific incidents of specific lives.

Top Critic

Mam's skill with a camera alone is something to watch for in the future, and the plural storytelling in this film could be a sign of very interesting things to come.

June 5, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Deeply compassionate and artistically realized study of the Cambodian poor by a Cambodian. Remarkable testimony to the power of committed film-making.
