Việt and Nam only initially looks like something that you might expect to find on John Waters’ Best of the Year list. Soon enough the movie becomes a gentle romance about loving the dead.
Mar 27, 2025
Quy treats the love affair between Viet and Nam with exquisite tenderness.
Sep 6, 2024
Truong Minh Quy’s new queer romance-cum-sociohistorical lament mines beauty from both collective desolation and individual endurance.
Jun 5, 2024
While a degree of naturalism does still make its way into many slow-burn scenes, Quy’s filmmaking largely favors expressionism.
Aug 5, 2025
Viet and Nam is a film that first feels opaque and elusive, and yet it becomes drenched with emotion.
Jun 10, 2024
Viet And Nam may studiously occupy a certain world cinema niche, but Truong’s flourishes ensure that it offers a richly personal blend of the authentic and the abstract.

While “Viet and Nam” is filled from beginning to end with outstanding visuals and thought-provoking ideas, it is perhaps too lethargic and, at a little over two hours, overlong. Yet there is still much to enjoy.

When writers lack the ability to create characters with more depth than a teacup, they resort to the age old cliche: "Make 'em gay " This is literally what the writer said: He did it to add emotional depth. I long for creativity in this barren wasteland of war torn Vietnam.
