It's one of the year's best performances. It's such an incredibly honest performance, you wouldn't for an instant believe Nguyen is a surfer boy from California. He underplays Binh so expertly, you'd think this was a veteran actor, not a novice. We understand and feel for this woman, her struggles and her passions.

I pretty much knew little to nothing about this film when I saw it. Even then, it only hits the major cities.
