A Fragile Flower

This film is an absolute letdown, especially to the Vietnamese culture it attempts to portray. With a title that promises so much more, it utterly fails to deliver. There's no storyline to speak of - it's as if the concept of a plot was completely foreign to the creators. Watching paint dry might offer more entertainment and narrative structure. And the music? It's painfully worse than the warblings of a karaoke night gone wrong. Sitting through this movie is akin to throwing away $20 and two precious hours of your life, which you will never get back. It's as if someone took an amateur film project, devoid of skill or artistry, and somehow managed to get it on the big screen. It's not just a missed opportunity; it's a misstep into the realms of the unwatchable.

Entering the cinema with high expectations for this film, I found myself deeply disappointed by its execution. The narrative lacks substance, offering little in the way of a coherent plot, and its portrayal of the Vietnamese community strikes a discordant note, failing to capture the essence or complexities of this vibrant culture. The performances further exacerbate the film's shortcomings, resembling actors reciting lines mechanically from a teleprompter rather than delivering authentic emotion. To compound these issues, the soundtrack is utterly jarring, with every piece of music grating on the ears, adding another layer of dismay to an already underwhelming cinematic experience.

A Fragile Flower differentiated itself from other movies by the storyline. It's a story about a new Vietnamese American singer who struggles with love, fame, luxurious life, and what she must give up to have peace and hopefully happiness .... We have heard "you only live once". Would she regret her choice in the end?!

This movie captured many beautiful scenery all over the United States. Gorgeous movie costumes. The movie time ran a bit short and dialogues are also short and straight to the point. More than 10 songs were performed in the movie, mostly in Vietnamese, and kind of soft and romantic songs. I want to say that this movie is very "clean". Recommend for the senior generation.

The film's reliance on soft, romantic Vietnamese music and its brief dialogue and runtime undermine A Fragile Flower's potential. Though visually appealing with beautiful locations and costumes, the plot's focus on a singer's clichéd struggle with fame may resonate more with an older demographic. Gorgeous U. S. landscapes and costumes can't save A Fragile Flower from its clichéd narrative about a singer's woes. Its short length and direct dialogue hinder character development, while the predominantly soft, Vietnamese soundtrack narrows its audience appeal. This movie should not have been produced; it's a disservice to the Vietnamese community.

It's been a long time since I have the pleasure of watching a movie that still holds my attention without all the added visuals such as violence, over the top visual effects, etc. I was surprised to find that I can still be moved by such a warm, simple love story. It reminded me of the time that I shed copious amount of tears over another simple love story, named LOVE STORY. Even my husband, who is never interested in what he called "chick movies ", was contemplative after he saw this. He even made positive comments about it on the way home from the theater, which is a rarefied moment for us. Thanks for making this heart tugging, tear jerking movie.
