Saipan 2026. A film loosely based on the conflict between the Republic of Ireland coach, Mike McCarthy (Steve Coogan), and his star player, Roy Keane (Eanna Hardwicke), and Keane's subsequent departure from the Irish squad for the World Cup. To begin with, Hardwicke doesn't resemble Keane at all—she's much taller—but she does capture his arrogance. Coogan isn't an exact copy either, but she does capture his seemingly chaotic approach to player management. Directors: Lisa Barros D'Sa, Glenn Leyburn Writer:: Paul Fraser Stars: Éanna Hardwicke, Steve Coogan, Peter McDonald What I felt while watching the film was the disastrous state of Irish planning. That was the problem: Keane, of Manchester United fame, expected more. I watched The Damned United last week, which deals with the rivalry between Brian Clough and Don Revie.

A Fragile Flower 2024 Movie Review Trailer

In Mai Thu Huyen's captivating narrative, “A Fragile Flower,” we delve into the intricate web of instant fame that ensnares a talented singer. Thach Thao, played by the talented Maya, has a voice that enchants all who hear it. Under the loving care of Mama Rose, played by Trizze Nguyen, Thao finds himself performing at a nightclub where he catches the attention of the charming Son, played by Quoc Cuong. However, Thao, determined not to succumb to the cliché of exchanging favors for success, politely rejects Son's advances.

The plot thickens when Thao receives an invitation from an executive at SET (Seoul Entertainment Television) for a possible role in a movie. To his surprise, the executive turns out to be none other than Son, who is married to the station's general manager, Yvonne, played by Mai Thu Huyen herself. Despite Yvonne's initial reluctance, Son secures financing for the film and begins production, causing tensions between the couple.

Director: Rajesh A Krishnan
Writers: Nidhi Mehra, Mehul Suri
Stars: Tabu, Kareena Kapoor, Kriti Sanon

As filming takes Thao and Son across the western US, their professional relationship evolves into something more intimate. However, they both struggle with their growing feelings, given Son's relationship status. Meanwhile, Thao's health deteriorates under the pressure of fame and emotional turmoil.


“A Fragile Flower” reflects the classic narrative of a rising star, reminiscent of “A Star is Born,” but from a Vietnamese perspective. Maya's moving performances as Thao add depth to the story, highlighting her character's emotional journey. The film navigates the complexities of fame while exploring the dynamics of a love triangle involving Thao, Son and Yvonne.


While the story may be familiar to American audiences, the Vietnamese perspective offers a new take on the genre, aimed at both local and international viewers. “A Fragile Flower” serves as a platform to showcase Maya's versatility as an actress and singer, uniting Vietnamese cinema with the diaspora community in the United States.


Unlike its Western counterparts, the film takes a more optimistic approach towards its characters, portraying them as flawed individuals striving to achieve their dreams. Despite the inevitable conflicts, there are no clearly defined villains, emphasizing the universal struggle to balance ambition and integrity.


Inspired by Japanese and Korean dramas, “A Fragile Flower” carves a niche for itself as a romantic V-Drama, aimed at audiences seeking heartfelt storytelling. While some may crave a darker narrative, the film's unwavering positivity offers a refreshing perspective on fame and love.
