Luminous and immersive, at times overwhelmingly so, this film is a realist's ode to the hope that remains after one has survived the unimaginable.

It's an education suitable for both children ready to see the world's shadows, and for adults who may still not comprehend Southeast Asian history beyond the Vietnam War.

"Funan" is a stunning piece of animation in which the beauty of the visuals and the horror of the situation are inextricably intertwined.

Yet, for all this narrative convenience, Do manages to lead his intimate portrait toward an affecting crescendo.

This film is a beautiful and moving tribute not just to Do's mother, but also to Cambodia and its people.

Absolutely magnific cinematography. This movie takes us on a trip through pain, suffering, shock and a bit of an history lesson in an amazing display of simple but gorgeous animation complete with a perfect soundtrack. With a touching story that you'll feel absorbed to and an amazing pacing this movie will leave you hanging on every breath. The environment and tone though were what amazed me the most. Denis Do manages to deliver a nation wide "experience" with a very intense intimacy in a delightful contrast that most directors can't ever acomplish. A must see!

Accurate and dark - but how else could this horror be depicted? Not your Disney animation.
