Doa Hoa Mong Manh

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.

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's attempt to stand out with its storyline and Vietnamese songs feels overshadowed by its overfamiliar plot of fame and love struggles. Despite beautiful cinematography and costumes, its brevity and simplistic dialogue may leave viewers wanting more depth. Despite its visual appeal and an interesting storyline about a Vietnamese American singer, A Fragile Flower struggles with a predictable plot and limited character exploration due to its short runtime and straightforward dialogue. Its soft, romantic soundtrack may not appeal to all. Creating this movie was a mistake; it dishonors the Vietnamese community.

A Fragile Flower, with its beautiful U. S. settings and detailed costumes, still falls into the trap of a clichéd fame and love narrative. The film's brevity and the predominance of soft, Vietnamese music might not cater to a broad audience, skewing older. The movie's stunning visuals and costumes are undermined by a lackluster plot of a singer's predictable struggle with fame. A Fragile Flower's concise dialogue and short duration limit its emotional impact, with its soft Vietnamese soundtrack appealing to a more niche, older audience. Producing this film was regrettable and reflects poorly on 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.
