According to data from Box Office Vietnam updated on February 21, the movie "My Father's House, One Room" has almost reached the 60 billion VND mark, becoming one of the Vietnamese films with notable revenue in this Tet season. This achievement shows the brand appeal of Truong Giang as well as the audience's interest in family movies at the beginning of the year.
However, in parallel with positive commercial results, the work still caused much controversy on social networks and film forums.
The film revolves around the story of a family of two father and son of Mr. Thach (Truong Giang) living together in a cramped space, from which conflicts and misunderstandings arise and then gradually heal. The message about family affection and sacrifice is considered to be easy to touch the emotions of the general audience. Some viewers believe that the film has a close, everyday color and is suitable for the atmosphere of family reunion.
However, many opinions commented that the plot follows the familiar motif of Vietnamese family films, with predictable developments and lacking unexpected highlights. The film's script is criticized as outdated and boring for viewers.
The film's pace is leaning towards dialogue and emotion, making some scenes considered lengthy and lacking cinematic climax.
Truong Giang's acting is considered well-rounded, especially in inner scenes. However, a part of the audience believes that the male actor still has a familiar style, not creating a breakthrough compared to previous roles. In some climactic scenes, but in the scene where Mr. Thach meets his ex-wife, Mrs. Le (Nhu Van), Truong Giang shows a stiff, unnatural acting style.
Meanwhile, the senior supporting cast is praised for being natural and emotional, but some young faces are assessed as still awkward and lacking depth.
The actor playing the male lead, Anh Tu Atus, was not highly appreciated in this performance. His role is not deep, lacking storylines. The female lead Minh Anh's acting is inexperienced.
In addition to the content, the film tone is also a point of debate. Some viewers think that the film has many touching details, even heavy on tragedy but is exaggerated. In which, the scene of Truong Giang and Minh Anh having conflicts, the male actor crying in the rain is criticized for being forced.
However, the movie "My Father's House, One Room" also has many plus points, the performances of Le Khanh and HIEUTHUHAI are praised for being graceful, helping to keep viewers following. The film has colors suitable for the family atmosphere, family affection, suitable for watching during Tet.
Achieving nearly 60 billion VND in revenue shows that "My Father's House, One Room" still has a certain foothold in the market and attracts a stable audience. Revenue success but controversial quality is not a rare phenomenon for Vietnamese films in recent years, as audience tastes are increasingly diverse and requirements are higher.
