Saigon Baby is a curious blend of drama and thriller, capturing the tense and emotional struggle of a British couple yearning for a child amidst the chaotic backdrop of Vietnam. The performances by Douglas Hodge and Kerry Fox are quite compelling, really drawing you into their desperation and moral dilemmas. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the tension as the couple wades deeper into a murky world of illegal adoption. The authenticity of the setting and the rawness of the characters' emotions create a palpable atmosphere. It’s not just a film about adoption; it’s a commentary on longing and the lengths people will go to when hope seems lost. It has that gritty, real-life feel that stays with you.
