Why watch this film?

Winner of several awards from American independent cinema, 'You Have a Nice Flight' is one of those unexpected comedies. After all, with its particular humor, the feature film shows the pitfalls of a young Vietnamese woman in an airport. She doesn't know how to speak English, she gets lost in that colossal environment and, above all, she doesn't find help from the airline. From there, debut filmmaker Jimmy Dinh draws from the source of 'Take Off Your Seatbelts, the Pilot Is Missing' and plays with the various types and stereotypes circulating in an airport lounge. For many, the humor may be exaggerated and even go a bit too far. However, the sensitivity of the director and the lead actress ends up raising the quality of the feature film, which brings a good message in its conclusion.
