The Paradise of Thorns is an intense emotional journey that explores themes of love, loss, and revenge. Thongkham, played by Jeff, is a chaotic and despairing character who loses his love for Sek and must care for the orchard, his mother, and his non-blood sibling Mo. Mo, played by Engfa, is a tragic villain with a tragic plot and self-pity. Both characters are obstinate and egotistical, but they both have a goal of revenge. The film is stunning, covering family issues, LGBT+ community representation, emotions, and traditional ceremony depiction. The atmosphere of the film is superb, making it a must-watch for those seeking emotional and heart-wrenching experiences.
