Bitter/Sweet

About This Movie

Bitter/Sweet is an intriguing blend of comedy, drama, and romance. Directed by Jeff Hare, it takes you on a journey through the contrasting worlds of American corporate life and the vibrant streets of Bangkok. The pacing feels natural, allowing the tension between Brian and Ticha to build gradually. Performances are solid, with Brian’s internal struggle feeling very relatable. The film tackles themes of love, ambition, and the search for happiness amid the chaos of life. What stands out is its atmospheric use of location, capturing the essence of Thailand while exploring the emotional distance in relationships. A layered narrative that doesn't always play out how you expect, making it distinctive in its own right.

Interesting blend of genres, not your typical rom-com. · Captivating location work in Thailand adds depth. · Themes resonate on personal and professional levels.
