Dontfucking E @RT36054774 08/17/2024 This is NOT Song of the South!!!!!!!!! See more KC S @RT11625954 02/22/2024 I enjoyed the movie. It was a funny uplifting film about a time in history rife with bloodshed and unrest. The graphics were beautiful. I found Song of the South to be refreshing. See more Ty N @RT00523168 02/05/2024 The writing leans heavily on formulaic melodrama, leading to an unnecessarily long runtime. However, this is not unusual if you are familiar with Vietnamese opera. See more Read all reviews
