The Betrayal (Nerakhoon)

Kenneth Turan awards "The Betrayal" a critics' choice award. The LA Times review is however written by Sheri Linden who writes:

Abandonment surfaces at every turn, taking on a more intimate impact well after the Phrasavath family has settled, uneasily, in Brooklyn. Its saga, told with soul-stirring specificity, is also in a sense the history of 20th century bloodshed and dislocation, hauntingly anticipated in 5,000-year-old Lao prophecies.
