Movie is beautifully made, but director has western feminist mindset.
I do not know Vietnam nor Vietnamese culture, but I do know Thai culture, witch gives me a feel for Asian culture in general.
Even though the director was born in Vietnam, she has been educated in the UK and the US. This fact is very obvious as she has been strongly influenced by western feminist thought. This makes the movie feels more like a western feminist political statement than a genuine historical movie. The story feels unauthentic and fake.
After watching a few minutes my first thought was that this must be a western production!
