Fortune Favors the Brave

2016 · 96 min Family Drama
5.7 / 10 · TMDB

Eleven-year-old Linh shows great grace under pressure. When her mother, who’s raising her kids on her own, has to return unexpectedly to Vietnam, Linh looks after her little sister Tien and the family restaurant on her own. Of course, no one is supposed to find out, not the school, not the neighbours, and definitely not child protective services. But Linh’s biggest problem has red hair, a telescope and a sly grin: Pauline. The daredevil from across the street has the whole neighbourhood under surveillance and can’t imagine anything cooler than a life without parents. When Pauline blackmails the Vietnamese sisters into starting a gang with her, the three girls set off on a daring adventure.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a coming-of-age story through the lens of childhood responsibility and forced independence, relying on the contrast between the protagonist's fragility and the weight of her duties.

What lingers after viewing is a tender portrait of a prematurely wise girl, whose courage is born of love, in a world where childish imagination and real-world struggles intertwine. — MovieFinder Editorial
