Blue Bayou
Independent filmmaker Justin Chon writes, directs, and stars in this moving drama tackling the timeliest of topics: US immigration policy and how it can destroy lives
Description
‘I've rarely seen Vikander this forceful and immediate; it's her strongest work in years. And Chon slips effortlessly into the role of a guy who's had a tough upbringing… Where “Blue Bayou” undeniably succeeds is in its portrait of the strength and the fragility of families in situations where the decks are stacked against them… There's a core of emotional honesty to this movie... It leaves you with a devastating sense of just how violent it is to tear someone away from the only family—and the only country—they've ever known.’—Justin Chang, NPR
