Blue Bayou

Dramatic, touching movie about a mistreated Asian adoptee. Top notch acting and very moving movie. Cried my eyes out!

This movie is so necessary. The United States government needs to stop the deportations now. Unfair, unfeeling and compassionless. The movie brilliantly conveys this necessity.

This drama opened my eyes to a terrible truth: despite being adopted, 50K Americans face deportation. The plot isn't perfect, but the cinematography is beautiful and the acting very well done.

Actually made me tear up a bit at the end! Would definitely recommend.

Heart wrenching. Great acting by all, especially the main character and little girl. Unbelievable that the US would deport citizens that have lived there all their lives due to a muck up in their admin, yet let new illegals pour in. The ones that have lived there 30-40 years believing they were officially adopted, have to go to a country they don't know because a US form technicality was missed by the US adoptive parents. Where is the logic, reason and common sense??

I was enjoying this film but the over the top melodramatic ending left me really annoyed

A realness depiction of an unbelievably string of unfair events, I was amazed!!!!

A little more of raw drama

It's a perfect movie. It's a beautiful movie. It's a sad movie. It's a perfectly beautiful and sad movie. It's a must watch.

Overall, this is a solid drama film and easily one of the best films I've seen this year. It's a touching and gripping story that truly broke me as it focused on family, overcoming one's past and the heartbreaking topic of deportation. Blue Bayou is filled with tremendous and highly believable performances from both Justin Chon and Alicia Vikander.  Also serving as a director, Justin Chon has adored capturing many wonderful moments of tension and character's emotions, all of which truly touched my heart. There's very little I can say negative about a film like this, and it certainly comes highly recommended for those seeking a new drama film.
