: Kit’s budding connection with Lewis (Parker Sawyers), an American whose own family history is tied to the war, adds a delicate layer of "tenderness and romance" to the journey. Good to Know Before You Watch
LFF REVIEW: “A quiet, bittersweet gem” – 'Monsoon' (2019)
: Whether or not you share Kit’s specific background, the "struggle between cultural heritage and personal identity" is universal. Rotten Tomatoes reports an 87% critic approval rating, praising its "thoughtful look at the emigrant experience".
The film follows Kit (Henry Golding), a British-Vietnamese man who returns to Ho Chi Minh City for the first time in 30 years since his family fled the Vietnam War. He isn't there for a vacation; he is on a mission to find a final resting place for his parents' ashes.
: Moving away from his Crazy Rich Asians persona, Golding delivers a "naturalistic" and "tender" performance that critics from Flip Screen highlight as his most realized work.
