  • Children of the Village is a dedicated political and social work by director Nguyen Duc Viet. The film tells the story of villagers of all ages in a poor, hardship-filled south-central hamlet that endured tremendous suffering during the war. People from the very same village, once close friends, found themselves on opposing sides during the conflict.
    Hoàng Quý on Báo Công an Nhân dân
  • Children of the Village was commissioned by the State to a private studio for production; the film is highly appreciated for its humanism and rich cultural identity.
    Ngô Phương Lan on Báo Dân trí
  • While not groundbreaking in every respect, with its message of transcending the past and national reconciliation encapsulated in a substance-rich screenplay, Children of the Village left those fortunate enough to see it nodding in deep satisfaction.
