Writer-director Aditya Assarat's Wonderful Town follows Ton, a young Bangkok architect dispatched to oversee a building site in a seaside Thai resort town.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: It's no small feat to pull off as sweet and sensitive a romance as that between Na and Ton, and something rarer yet to suffuse such affections into a poem of wounded landscape.
Fresh: This delicate, delightful and nearly note-perfect debut feature from young Thai director Aditya Assarad offers more evidence of the tremendous film renaissance underway in East Asia.
Fresh: There's a folksy majesty to Wonderful Town, born of its leisurely pace, pastoral views of idyllic scenery and a storytelling drive set only slightly faster than slow motion. It recalls a lot of rustic, independent English-language films of the '90s
Fresh: A sensitive love story from Thailand set against the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami.
