Joshua Starnes Firing the Canon Arvelo does indeed open a world in front of us and the quick peeks at it are enticing. If only we were able to get the full course instead of just the appetizer. Rated: 6/10 Jan 7, 2022 Full Review Ronak Kotecha ronakkotecha.wordpress.com Vietnam: Fast Forward isn't the ideal documentary with polished filmmaking and astute usage of all that is there at its disposal. However, it stays rooted in showing us the journey of Vietnam's growth and the people behind it and does it quite well. Rated: 3/5 Dec 20, 2021 Full Review M. Faust The Public (Buffalo) Well intended but unsatisfying look at Vietnam's thriving modern economy as seen through the eyes of a variety of entrepreneurs. Rated: 2/5 Dec 14, 2021 Full Review Federico Furzan Movie-Blogger.com It's a high-spirited film about the strength of absolute hope Dec 14, 2021 Full Review Evan Dossey Midwest Film Journal Although not much more than a travel documentary, Fast Forward has a positive energy that is undeniably infectious. Dec 4, 2021 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat [It] is filled with hope and optimism... Rated: 7.5/10 May 21, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I never been to Vietnam and knowing that the the country are one the fastest Economy Development in the world makes me want s to visit the country. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I was intrigued when I saw Vietnam: Fast Forward while skimming through new titles on Amazon. I visited the country a few years ago and I'm missing the days when traveling was so much simpler, so I decided to give the film a shot. I love the discussion of Vietnam as a changing and ascending country. I think, at least those in the states, need to be reminded that Vietnam is not a war, it is a country. Vietnam also has some of the nicest people I've ever met in my travels too. This documentary shows how rapidly the economy is growing there and does so with personal stories that are easy to connect with. It's obvious to see this ecumenic boom both within this documentary and outside it, and it will be interesting to see further real life growth in the years to come. As a bonus, the documentary also might satisfy your urge to travel like it did mine, as you can see some notable locations and landmarks in the film as well. Enjoy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Very interesting and enlightening film, will make you discover aspects of Vietnam you would never have discovered on your own. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie should be watched AT LEAST TWICE. Its a movie with a foundation in history that erupts into entrepreneurship. There are so many opportunities for enriching your knowledge of Vietnam ADDITIONALLY, if you watch it with an open-mind (and a notepad to take notes like many of us did :-) you will leave with a heightened desire to be part of a culture with a passion to improve the quality of lives of many others. Great work folks! Thank you. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't know much about Vietnam, and this documentary provided with some authentic stories about people thriving and making it all to emerge and succeed. The video making was impressive to me, I enjoyed the beautiful landscapes. I'd totally recommend watching it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Most films about Vietnam are about the war, but this documentary is an uplifting take on this fascinating and rapidly evolving country. It is comprised of interviews with several entrepreneurs and each tells his/her unique personal story. Through their stories, I learned that many problems still exist in Vietnam, but also how courage and hard work can turn things around. I felt hopeful and inspired after watching this documentary, so I'd recommended to anyone who needs a dose of optimism. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
