I really enjoyed this movie. It was very emotional and moving. Definitely one of the best dramas I've watched this year. Hats off to Justin Chon for making an amazing film. 8 stars.

Instant reaction here. Was blown away by this movie. Not overly familiar with Justin Chon but his performance was exceptional and seeing he also wrote and directed this makes me excited for whatever projects he's involved with in the future. Alicia Vikander was solid as always great casting and most importantly the movie raises awareness to an issue most people were likely unaware of. Bravo!

The major story theme is the U. S. policy of deporting people who were adopted from other countries & may have lived in the U. S. for decades. Script seemed sympathetic to that issue yet oddly the central character had a history of major crimes. Would have liked a more balanced presentation of the reasoning behind what seems an unfair deporting of adoptees especially after such a long period.
