Funan

"There are hints that the film will scale itself to the broader historical context of this era, but the screenplay never elaborates on the ethnic strife the undergirds the Cambodian genocide."

"Do has created a tense, heartbreaking ode to a tragic time; a deeply personal story, superbly visualized."

"Funan is structured as a series of carefully choreographed set pieces in which things go from bad to worse to unimaginably awful."

"Do’s tale is resolutely earthbound. He uses animation as an interrogation into the practice of fictional depiction derived from actual atrocities."

"Funan is a stunning piece of animation in which the beauty of the visuals and the horror of the situation are inextricably intertwined."

"No film can capture the extent of what the Cambodian people went through at the hands of the Khmer Rouge, but Do has honoured his mother's story in this telling..."

"A realistic and moving account of a major 20th century atrocity."
