Don't Believe the Hype

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

One Night Husband is a mystery/ thriller film that did not generate any suspense at all. The plot was about Sipang.She is a woman who tastes sweet nuptial bliss briefly with her man Napat before the phone rings on the night of their wedding. Napat picks up, mumbles something, and leaves the house. When he doesn't return, Sipang asks for help from Chatchai, Napat's brother, who's married to the demure introvert Busaba. The wife's search for her husband reveals his hidden past, revealing a painstaking portrayal of contemporary Thai women's values, as Sipang and Busaba become two halves of the same feminine whole.The story has a lot of problems in this movie.It started extremely slow that left a lot of confusion to the viewers. Aside from that, the characters involved in the film are very shallow. The ending,which tried to be disturbing, never left any emotional impact for the audience.The acting was not so convincing at all. The portrayal of the cast were never what they needed to be. The only bright spot in this film was Nicole Theriault, a very pretty actress. Unfortunately, her acting ability was not able to hold the film for its entirety as she herself did not gain any interest despite of the story revolves around her character. Her portrayal was simply boring. The same is true with Siriyakorn Pukkavej. Aside from that, the direction of the film has a lot to be desired from to become at least an average mystery/thriller. And finally,it was a movie that was a disappointing examination of Thai women and their values.

Anyway the two movies presented were a hit and a miss, and One Night Husband turned out to be a bad miss. If many in the audience had their eyes closed at one point or another, or become fidgety in their seats, my opinion is that whatever is transpiring on screen, doesn't have enough of what it takes to hold an audience's attention. While the production value is good, it adopted the look and feel of an art movie about contemplation, isolation, and whatever that you would reckon the need for long silent moments.It begins with enough mystery to sustain anyone's attention - a newly wed couple consummating their marriage, except that after doing the deed, the groom walks out of the home after receiving an anonymous phone call. This leaves the bride Sipang (Nicole Theriault, a Thai pop star) perplexed, and she becomes anxious in finding out where her husband disappeared to after days of absence.However the movie seemed to junk this plot aside for a preference to dwell into her seeking of help from her brother in law Chat (Pongpat Wachirabunjong) and his wife Bussaba (Siriyakorn Pukkavesh), and from hereon, the focus is on the friendship developed between the two women, and probably if it fell into directors who are seduced by the GLBT themes of late, the relationship will dwell deeper than the platonic level.While the loose ends do get tied, the journey is trying. Unless you're a serious art movie lover, you might find many scenes in the movie pretty contrived and probably trying too hard. Essentially, the entire story is short film material, bloated only to include beautifully filmed moments of the mundane.

good movie but not great if u want to study the movie this one is kindda cool. if u could past the first hour without sleeping u will like it so take some rest before go to watch this movie cause it's very slow and very boring for the story line that for no reason. in the end really wake u up.i give 8/10 to this very slow movie.

This is a very slow and intense movie. It obviously has very beautiful pictures. The main characters are two women who seem to be totally diffrent, but strong in their own way. The end really wakes you up!
