Miss Hanoi is an intriguing little film that dives deep into the murky waters of crime and cultural tension. It's set in the border town of Varnsdorf, and right from the start, there's this heavy, almost oppressive atmosphere that pulls you in. The interplay between the cynical detective and the young, idealistic officer is well crafted; their contrasting perspectives add layers to the story. The pacing has its moments—sometimes slow, which allows for some character development, but it’s always engaging. The local Vietnamese community is portrayed with complexity, showcasing rigid social rules and fraught relationships. There’s a sense of authenticity in the performances that make it stand out, and the practical effects, though minimal, feel grounded in reality. Definitely a unique watch.
