REVIEWS

"The director has said that this story is quite personal to her heart and you can notice that in every carefully set-up scene, not only because of how well-handled every detail is, but because of the instantly palpable sentiment that she imbues within her frames.... [Underpass] flows effortlessly and captivates us by saying so much with so little.... Charlene Sun's cinematography is beautiful, and Dengue Fever and Chhom Nimol's music is appropriately haunting. LaThanh's lead performance is excellent; we can feel his pain and doubts by just looking at his eyes, and he conveys every nuance with careful precision." (read entire review...)
