In the wrong hands, a film about a pregnant 14-year-old bride could have gone very wrong very quickly. However, Mayfair knocks it out of the park; she presents May’s story with such grace and delicacy that it could only come from a Vietnamese woman. There is a respect for the subject matter observed, all while exposing the horror of the situation at hand. It’s intoxicating, heart-wrenching, and an experience I can’t wait to take in again. - Ashley Teresa Read Ashley's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-the-third-wife-artistic-painful-and-beautiful Head to https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/sff for more Sydney Film Festival reviews.
