Review of Blue Bayou (2021) by Aurora1 — 27 May 2022
Justin Chon did a great job at presenting the drama of thousands of children who aren't granted citizenship despite being adopted by American families, and because of that facing deportation. This is an aspect of being an illegal immigrant in Usa that is rarely told.
If we want to find a fault, the movie is sometimes too heavy on melodrama, but this doesn't ruin the overall project, which is blessed with dignity. The call for boycott is absolutely ridiculous: this movie should have won an Oscar, not been boycotted! A special praise to the little Sydney Kowalske for her excellent acting, a crescendo of nuances up to the heart-wrecking ending scene.
