 影片改编自科林·胡佛2022年出版的畅销小说，讲述一段关于母性、宽恕，以及爱的力量是如何修复最严重错误的动人旅程。在和男友有一次看似完美的约会之后，肯娜（麦卡·梦露 饰）犯下一个无法弥补的错误，使她被送进监狱。七年后，她回到怀俄明州的家乡，希望能够重新建立她的人生，并且争取与她从未见过的女儿蒂恩母女团圆的机会。当拥有蒂恩监护权的祖父母坚决拒绝让肯娜见她的女儿时，她却意外地在一位前美式足球球员以及当地酒吧老板的雷杰（泰里克·威瑟斯 饰）身上找到意想不到的同情心以及更真实和深切的情感。随着他们的秘密恋情逐渐发展，他们两个人也面对越来越多的危险，这把肯娜逼向心碎的边缘，然而，最终也让她有希望得到第二次机会。

　　Following her mother’s death, manga artist Soriya travels to her ancestral home in Phnom Penh, with hopes of reconnecting with her distant family and using the visit as inspiration for her work. All goes well initially. Renting an apartment in Metta, a rundown Khmer Rouge-era housing complex, her visit to her maternal relatives finds her welcomed with open arms. But Soriya’s waking hours in the apartment and its surroundings are punctuated by terrifying, bloody visions, almost as though she were a conduit for horrors of the past wanting to seep into the present.　　Inrasothythep Neth and Sokyou Chea’s blood-chilling psychological horror explores a personal and political past through the present, transforming a characterful space into an insidious environment. Surrounded by modern high-rises, this decrepit structure, with its brutalist architecture and peeling surfaces, is a relic from a dark period in history whose painful memories it has absorbed. In tracing Soriya’s ominous journey back to her roots, Tenement hints at a necessary reckoning with Cambodia’s political past without overplaying its historical dimension. It’s an impressive work from a woefully underrepresented national cinema.

 以《返家十万里》扬名的导演卡罗尔·巴拉德一鸣惊人之作。以戏剧化的抒情风格描述一名男孩在船难中跟黑神驹同时漂流到荒岛上，人与马建立了两位一体的非凡感情。后来他们获救重回人类社会，巧遇老牌马术教练，乃被训练成出色的赛马和小小年纪的骑师，在一次比赛中获得冠军。全片的摄影极为优美动人，尤其当时的童星凯利·里诺在沙滩上跟黑神驹玩耍的场面，在视听效果上呈现出大自然之美的极至。米基·鲁尼饰演的驯马师在片中也占有重要地位，一老一少和马之间的三角互动关系爆发出感人的火花，堪称同类影片中的一流代表作。
