neither here not there...
I wanted to see a movie about the political corruption and cryses in Burma. it's a fascinating story that should be told. but instead I got a mushy romantic drama in which the entire political part only happens in the background. it's not bad as it...
Captivating story
this film is a good mix-up of political drama and romantics. I love Michelle Yeoh and I think she did a wonderful job here. As I was not aware of burma's violent history it was very interesting to learn more about it.
