Review of Heaven & Earth (1993) by Gertrude T — 13 Jul 2009
A flick with both the indulgence and overstatement, intelligence competing with crassness and oversimplication.
Hiep Thi Le plays exceptionally for her part, bringing conviction and stoicism to her role as a woman surviving abuse from all sides.
The flick takes the viewpoint of a Vietnamese woman yet it still rests heavily on the American point of view .
Still, it's enduringly interesting, with an ingredient of breaking free from formulaic movie production. It has the visceral quality that reflects the passions and energy of the director. It is better to be than not to be.
