Journey From the Fall Reviews
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
A stunningly ambitious Vietnamese-American indie film that aims to wrap up the whole of the Vietnamese experience into a Vietnamese Exodus.
Boston Globe
Janice Page
Even when its wires are showing, the movie's soul is always evident.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
A story that needed to be told.
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
A first-rate cast, script, committed director and physical production that burns with authenticity make Journey From the Fall affecting history for all who wish to avoid the doom of forgetting its lesson.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
An example of sophisticated, impassioned filmmaking involving mainly people who lived through the harrowing experiences so unsparingly depicted, Journey From the Fall powerfully illustrates the refugee/immigrant experience.
New York Times
Matt Zoller Seitz
Depicts one family's endurance in sturdy, old-movie style, with sweeping camerawork, a monumental and occasionally intrusive orchestral score, brazen escapes and crowd-pleasing acts of defiance to fuel several action-adventure pictures.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Its sad story is ultimately humane and compelling, thanks to some special faces placed in the saga.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
An emotionally moving film that presents the story of the Vietnam War aftermath from the perspective of those who once called themselves Vietnamese.
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
An aching look at the rigors experienced by a people denied a true place in the world to call their own.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
Beautifully photographed and acted, it's a story that sticks with you.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
Writer/director Ham Tran sheds light on life in post-Vietnam War, and there are some very strong moments.
Variety
Russell Edwards
Despite some initial unsteadiness, helming shows considerable style as well as ambition.
Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
A movingly rendered, stirringly photographed first feature by Ham Tran.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
Tram manages to portray history, communicate his comments, and entertain at the same time, through a genuinely cinematic approach in both context and production values.
Reel.com
Timothy Knight
Journey From the Fall deserves commendation for its intelligent and nuanced account of the Vietnamese refugee experience. Kudos to Tran and his fine cast, many of whom had never acted before, for making this moving and artfully crafted film.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
Scenes from the Vietnam reeducation camp could have occurred anywhere, but Vietnamese-American audiences will relate especially to this film.
Film Threat
Mark Bell
It's a snippet of one family forever altered, and despite all the political undertones, it's the human level on which the film succeeds most of all.
JWR
James Wegg
Ham Tran's first full-length feature is an intriguing mix of history, moral-values and betrayal.
culturevulture.net
Arthur Lazere
There are some genuinely moving moments in [the] latter part of the film, but the inconsistencies and the overwrought structure of the screenplay seriously dilute the overall effectiveness of 'Journey from the Fall.'
