Reviews from the global film community focus on the following key points:
International audiences praised the art direction, noting the meticulous attention to detail in recreating the atmosphere of 1960s Saigon through filming locations and costumes.
The screenplay and visual effects received mixed opinions, due to the narrative pacing feeling stretched in the second half, a prolonged ending, and visual effects backgrounds that did not appear entirely natural.
The performances of the cast varied, with Hong Anh being a standout highlight, while Thanh Hang received mixed feedback.
Being featured in international media along with these initial responses is a positive step, helping Vietnamese cinema gradually reach and expand its global audience base.
