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.
OMG...what a wonderful production from cinematography to music to story line. I LOVE it so much that I went to watch three times with all my girlfriends, family then my husband.
I truly enjoyed A Fragile Flower and I am impressed with their first Vietnamese movie made 100% in the US. Hollywood style and very entertaining to watch and learn many things in this movie. The music score in this movie is AMAZING that I went online and look up the music to listen to it again. I am in love with Vietnamese and their culture and customs.
Thank you for making this type of a movie for us to watch and enjoy.

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.
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.
A Fragile Flower's plot feels tired; another story of love and fame struggles. Its brief runtime and succinct dialogues leave depth wanting. While visually appealing across U. S. locales and with striking costumes, it leans heavily on soft, Vietnamese songs, appealing perhaps, to a narrower, older audience. While A Fragile Flower boasts stunning U. S. sceneries and costume design, its story of a singer's life trials feels all too familiar. The film's concise dialogue and short duration fail to fully develop its themes, with its soft, romantic Vietnamese soundtrack potentially limiting its appeal.
