If there's one scene that stayed with me with this film it would be that confrontation scene between Noy the closeted gay and his lover who punched him in the face since I found it a rather intense scene that establishes the inner conflicts between these persons. I also find it quite surreal regarding the interconnection between two persons who share the same names but with different struggles. For me it's rather a new idea and while some of the performances were quite weak the lead stars hold their own and the two Noys, the gay one and the Hmong woman were generally impressive in their acting portrayals. It's also a way of getting acquainted to the local Laotian culture. Worth checking out!
