How to evaluate the film The Taste of Green Papaya?

On the aesthetic level, The Taste of Green Papaya poetically tells the growth story of a young girl Mei. This film involves memories of Chen Yingxiong's childhood, part of which is a review of his past life. Soft and clear pictures, crystal clear and sometimes humorous music are exquisite enough to bury suffering and calm passion, as if everything has nothing to do with reality.

This film, shot in a French studio, is not about Vietnam in reality, but a warm spiritual hometown left in the director's heart, a poetic reality purified by art, and comes from Chen Yingxiong's fond memories of Vietnam. (Peninsula Network Review)
