It's a great movie to watch for any reason, but I think especially as showcase for three rising talents. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Kerr The Hollywood Reporter Sep 25, 2019
Visually stunning and suitably yearning. Go to Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut Feb 18, 2021
5/5
A debt collector and an operatic performer meet in Vietnam, in another time. They could be anyone, in any place or time. Beautiful, natural, and tender first film from Leon Le. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Nov 12, 2020

4.5/5
A gentle love story told with delicacy by Le, 'Song Lang' slowly unravels its narrative without falling into the gooey tropes that often beset such an unlikely romance. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mar 11, 2021 It's a well made, emotional movie. The Cai Luong opera culture of Southern Vietnam after 1975 was well portrayed. But I feel like it could have used a different ending, a lighter one. It would have make it stand out of many LGBTQ dramas. Still a great movie though. 5/5. See more Read all reviews
