As a Thai citizen who identifies as LGBTQIA+, here is my review of The Paradise of Thorns: This film is engaging and captivating throughout, with a script that is excellently crafted. I truly enjoyed and loved this movie.
The performances by Jeff, Ingfa, and Keng are outstanding, resembling a theater production-big performances that are both fun and compelling. All three actors convey their emotions deeply, allowing the audience to feel involved in the story.
The film effectively satirizes issues such as poverty, welfare, and equal marriage laws. I admire the film's understanding of Thai society and its excellent research, which gives it profound meaning and reflects real societal problems.
However, while the movie is intense and entertaining throughout, the ending is disappointing and makes the audience feel that they wasted valuable time and money watching it. The conclusion fails to wrap up the story satisfactorily (even though the film suggests that the audience should think more about the ending, I found it to be incomplete).
The highlight of the film for me is the sound mixing and soundtrack, which are impeccably done, melodious, and wonderfully seamless. I believe this film has the potential to go further than expected, with its ability to evoke a wide range of emotions in the audience simultaneously.

"The Paradise of Thorns" is a powerful depiction of Thai society's deep-seated issues, with a particular focus on marriage inequality. The film excels in its storytelling, blending intense drama with cultural commentary. The acting is superb, bringing the characters' struggles and emotions to life in a way that feels both genuine and compelling. Coupled with some of the best cinematography in recent Thai cinema, the film creates a visually stunning yet thought-provoking experience. It's an exceptional piece of filmmaking that resonates on multiple levels, making it the best Thai film for me. Lastly the ost is addictive, i can't stop listening to it.
In the lush setting of a remote durian orchard, "The Paradise of Thorns" presents a poignant narrative filled with love, loss, and legal battles. The story follows Thongkam and Sek, a gay couple whose lives are shattered by tragedy when Sek dies, leaving Thongkam to navigate grief and ownership of their shared space, all while facing the challenges of a lack of legal recognition for their relationship.
The film beautifully explores complex characters, including:

Jeff and Ingfah delivered truly outstanding performances in their roles. Their portrayals are deeply nuanced, showcasing a profound range of emotions that breathe life into their characters. Their acting is nothing short of perfect, capturing the essence of their roles with remarkable precision. As you watch the film, you become fully immersed in the world of these characters. They feel incredibly real, as if they are genuine individuals living in a struggling rural village. The girl in the story faces the harsh reality of lacking citizenship, while the same-sex couple finds themselves devoid of any legal rights or recognition. In the context of the law, a same-sex couple is reduced to the status of mere friends, stripped of essential rights, including those needed for medical purposes. This stark legal reality adds a layer of poignancy to their story. The film's setting is in one of the poorest regions of the country, a backdrop that starkly contrasts with the luxurious and highly prized durian fruit, which is the country's most expensive export. This juxtaposition creates a powerful irony, underscoring the film's critical perspective on societal inequalities and economic disparity. The conclusion of the movie is masterfully executed, serving its thematic purpose with impeccable timing. It leaves a lasting impact, making the film not just memorable but unforgettable. This cinematic experience will linger in your mind long after the credits roll, leaving a profound impression that could stay with you for weeks, or even for a lifetime.
The film's storyline is overwhelming. It will captivate you to the point that you won't be able to take your eyes off it. It has beautiful and meaningful cinematography. True to the art of filmmaking, not just focussing on inequality but the reality of life. The bittersweet of true love, grief, sorrow, and disappointment, as well as the joy of winning over something you believe in.
I love the way the film was edited. The buildup is intense with elements of surprise. Every scene is superbly done. There are no hiccups or whatsoever. Above all, the actors gave very powerful performances. Honestly, it is difficult to accept that this is Jeff and Engfa's first feature film. Kudos to the whole team 👍🏼
