****-
I went to see this movie the other day. Although it was the first wekeend, the cinema was only a third full. As many of you probably know, many Thai movies are not only badly written, but they are poorly executed. Many of them are "made for tv" quality and have the same tired formula. Rarely do we seen anything orginal or worthy of showing in international film festivals. The movie "Nueng Jai... Diaw Kan (Where the Miracle Happens)" was obviously cast in a different mould. It is by far the best Thai movie of the year and should be on everyone's list of "must-see" movies. I am not often moved when I watch movies, but I am not ashamed to say I was wiping tears from my eyes for much of this movie. Although there were some plot holes here and there, the performance by Princess Ubolratana was impeccable. No doubt a very good debut performance.

You must watch this movie.

I Agree with the below comment,
Generally thai movies are very sub par and mediocre, My mother, who is Thai herself, and very Patriotic, even admits this.
However we sat down together and watched this film on youtube, Without subtitles, so she was translating it to me.
Both of us were crying, The film really touches you in the right way without being overly done.

Aswell as this, it was executed excellently, with standout performances, Especially from the Princess.
it really felt like we were watching something straight out of hollywood, I guess thats the kind of Quality a royal could bring.

Five stars, Definately.
