Monsoon Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Mary Sollosi
Monsoon could stand to be a little more turbulent, but that doesn't mean it won't stir something within you.
SF Weekly
Jeffrey Edalatpour
It's an anti-melodramatic film that carefully foregrounds Kit's story against the tragic background of a country recovering from war.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Wade Major
It's much less about plot than it is about character, relationships, and memory, and Henry Golding is able to channel that richness in a largely nonverbal way that makes this enormously cinematic.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Angie Han
A graceful and poignant take on the immigrant experience.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
"Monsoon" is a lyrical, ambiguous reverie, maddening at times and beautifully resonant at others; it's quietly disorienting, but deeply felt.
IndieWire
Ryan Lattanzio
"Monsoon" is a quiet, solitary affair designed to communicate how isolating it can be to travel alone in a big city, especially one you have a fragmentary relationship to.
Austin American-Statesman
Eric Webb
It could stand to stage whisper just a little louder at times. But, sure enough, Golding's got the charisma to hold up the taciturn ramble of an indie drama just as well as a rom-com.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A delicate, observant, and rather too quiescent drama of coming home to a strange land, "Monsoon" is an interesting change of pace for star Henry Golding and another musing on diaspora by the Cambodia-born British filmmaker Hong Khaou.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
"Monsoon" finally tips over the line that separates minimalism from a not-fully-developed movie.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Khaou's impressionistic style surprises you, as does the depth of the performances from Golding and Sawyers.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Director/screenwriter Khaou evinces a keen sense of geography here, first in a bustling Saigon renamed Ho Chi Minh City... and then in the more provincial and less dynamic Hanoi.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
Khaou succeeds in bringing the quiet - and chaos - of Vietnam to life throughout his film, and even if the dramatic thrust of "Monsoon" at times gets lost in translation as the movie ambles along, the final frames... are sweetly dazzling.
Film Legacy
Daniel Eagan
Monsoon succeeds best when it suggests more.
Newshub (NZ)
Kate Rodger
These excellent performances and the grace with which their story is shot and told makes Monsoon such a rewarding experience.
AwardsWatch
Sara Clements
One of the most introspective films of the year stars an actor who knows all too well what it's like to be Kit, which only enhances the film's authenticity.
TheArtsStl
Sarah Boslaugh
Monsoon is a quiet film, with little dialogue but a great deal of quiet observation, and excellent location cinematography Benjamin Kracun.
NME (New Musical Express)
Ella Kemp
Golding's gentle, contemplative turn really brings across the character's feeling that he is a tourist in his own home.
Bay Area Reporter
Brian Bromberger
Monsoon is a subtle wink and nod commentary on the rootlessness of being an immigrant. Khaou is the master of melancholy and manages to convey so much emotion underneath...
The Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
Not everything in Monsoon is quite as successful as those moments on the train. But overall, this is a fascinating and thoughtful follow-up to Khaou's well-received debut feature, the 2014 Sundance premiere Lilting with Ben Whishaw and Cheng Pei-pei.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
A graceful and truthfully irresolute investigation into the strange, often poignantly unreciprocated relationship that many first- and second-generation emigrants have with the far-off foreign country of the past.
