MaximilienH.Mar 18, 20068The person who did the English subtitle should be fired. The most important sentence at the end that sums up the entire story was wrongly translated.

MartaB.Sep 7, 20069A story filled with quiet power, beautifully shot and acted. The images lingered in my mind long after the film ended. Despite the tiny budget, the execution of the film is so assured, it's hard to believe that this is the director's first film. Hope to see more from him.

70The elegiac tone here isn't set just by nostalgia for a vanished lifestyle: bereavement, lost love, and the ever present floodwaters add poignancy to the elliptical story, whose characters float in and out unbidden, and sometimes unexplained.

80One of the strengths of Mr. Nguyen-Vo's film is that despite the overwhelming physical beauty of the landscape and the simplicity of his characters, he doesn't succumb to such aerated thinking. The world in Buffalo Boy" is filled with wonder, but it is a world also filled with real desire, real death, not abstractions.

70Sports a stronger narrative spine than is usual in Vietnamese rural dramas and a less fragile tone in its deployment of landscape and character.
