Owl and the Sparrow (PG) 7.0

Owl and the Sparrow (2007) Cu va chim se se (original title): In modern-day Saigon, three lonely strangers form a unique family as a ten-year old orphan plays matchmaker to a zookeeper and a beautiful flight attendant. (7.4)

Director: Stephane Gauger
Writer: Stephane Gauger
Stars: Cat Ly, The Lu Le and Han Thi Pham
Language: Vietnamese (w/ English subtitles)

The movie is filmed in the documentary style or the early MTV quick-cut, shaky-camera style. While watching, you keep feeling that this is a real-life documentary, but it is a made-up story. So, in that sense, this gives a very real feeling and, I think, that says something about the quality of acting. I liked the colors; the realism of the scenes; the camerawork; etc. My Rating: 7.0
