That Day Will Come

About This Movie

That Day Will Come is a stark exploration of loss and resilience within a familial setting. It revolves around the life of Mai-Thong, a girl caught in the emotional turmoil following her mother's death. Raised by Commander Yod, a man whose womanizing nature adds layers of complexity to their domestic life, the film's tone is both somber and reflective. The pacing drifts, almost dream-like at times, allowing for moments of stillness that amplify the characters’ grief. The practical effects are modest, serving the narrative rather than overshadowing it. It's the performances that stand out, particularly the nuanced portrayal of Mai-Thong as she grapples with her fragmented world. There's a rawness here, an honesty that lingers long after the credits roll.

Interesting take on family dynamics and grief.Reflects a unique cultural perspective on womanhood.Pacing might feel slow, but it deepens emotional impact.
