47/40
A lighthearted comedy of errors from director Andrew Ahn about a chosen family navigating cultural identity, queerness and familial expectations. Frustrated by her commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris and short on time, Mina makes a proposal: marriage to their friend Angela under a green card in exchange for her partner Lee’s expensive IVF. But their escape plans are thwarted when Min’s grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding banquet. Starring Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-chan, Joan Chen and Youn Yuh-jung, “The Wedding Banquet” is a moving and heartfelt reminder that being part of a family means learning to accept and forgive.
