Movie Reviews

Dallas Morning News - 9/10 by Jane SumnerEarnest, unsubtle and Hollywood-predictable, Green Dragon is still a deeply moving effort to put a human face on the travail of thousands of Vietnamese.
Compuserve - 8/10 by Harvey S. KartenBegins like a docu-drama but builds its multi-character story with a flourish.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasA gracious, eloquent film that by its end offers a ray of hope to the refugees able to look ahead and resist living in a past forever lost.
Film Threat - 8/10 by Ron WellsThis is a story about purgatory, though it goes by the name Camp Pendleton.
New York Post - 8/10 by Megan LehmannDirector Timothy Linh employs a delicate - but never sentimental - touch which, combined with strong performances from the principals and Kramer Morgenthau's vivid cinematography, makes for a transporting experience.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliPerhaps the most impressive aspect of Green Dragon is Bui's recreation of Camp Pendleton, circa 1975 (filming actually took place in Camp Pendleton).
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyRevisiting the painful aftermath of Vietnam from the perspective of American-bound refugees, Timothy's film is an honorable if not great companion piece to his brother Tony's Three Seasons; both films played at the Sundance Festival dramatic competition
Moviehole - 8/10 by Clint MorrisOne of the best films of Swayze's Career....Not to be missed
Newsday - 8/10 by Gene SeymourJust when the movie seems confident enough to handle subtlety, it dives into soapy bathos.
EricDSnider.com - 6/10 by Eric D. SniderGreen Dragon falls prey to some threadbare Hollywood conventions, but otherwise maintains a high level of maturity and emotion as it examines the lives of Vietnamese refugees entering America in 1975.
