"The Last estimate" earned more than 17 billion VND, according to data from Box Office Vietnam.
The film tells awesome but also very realistic story about 3 close friends. Hoang (Avin Lu) turned 18 but was diagnosed with atherosclerosis ( ALS syndrome), only living a month.
At this time, despite his depression, Hoang still confided to his two close friends, Long (Quynh Ly) and Thy (Hoang Ha) that his last wish was to "losing it for the first time" and leave like a... man.
From this goal, the characters' journey encountered many "half-crying, half-laughing" situations. The sex story has since been approached through a special way of walking, both humorous and tragic.
On forums, many viewers argue with a question, that a group of students who have just turned 18 mentioned the issue of 18+ being vulgar and offensive?
Long and Thy continuously approach potential subjects to connect, or family members who are also involved in the fulfillment of Hoang's last wish, wanting sex to be placed next to death... is a bold approach by director Doan Si Nguyen.
Some details such as Long "checking" whether Hoang was paralyzed or not; Long suggested that his relatives "help" Hoang; Long and Thy tried many ways to connect the girls... to make people laugh but also received mixed opinions.
However, "The Last wish" incorporates more messages than a story about sexual desire. From Hoang's final journey, the film exploits the value of friendship, cohesion and understanding in the family, and the difference in views on love - sex between generations.
On the journey to fulfill Hoang's wish, Thy also accidentally came out (publicly disclosed her sexual orientation) as gay. Although sad because of being exploited by friends, she felt at ease because her mother understood and supported her.
Thy's mother, Hoang and Long's parents both realized that the most important thing was for their child to be happy and joyful. Hoang's father ran around carefully treating his child and realized that he didn't even know what his child's interests were.
In different circumstances and conditions, the image of 18-year-old youth appears with many routines, from school-age jokes, worries and a bit of "thoroughness" when entering adulthood.
The performances of Hoang Ha, Avin Lu and Quynh Ly are considered natural and profound. Hoang Ha and Avin Lu renewed themselves after playing a couple in "Em va Trinh".
The negative point of the film is the central rhythm and the theme does not have weight. Some segments are cumbersily extended, and the comedy is sometimes exaggerated, making the film unreal.
