Director: Alice Wu
Cast: Lynn Chen, Michelle Krusiec, and Joan Chen
Region: B
A queer romantic comedy set in vibrant, multicultural New York City, Alice Wu's irresistible feature debut breathed fresh life into the genre by combining snappy dialogue and a swooning love story with a poignant narrative about a mother and daughter coming to terms with each other.
Just as Wil (Michelle Krusiec), a harried young surgical resident, begins a promising romance with the flirtatious dancer Vivian (Lynn Chen), her life is turned upside down when her more traditional Chinese mother (Joan Chen) - unwed and unexpectedly pregnant - moves in with her, forcing both women to confront the generational and cultural barriers that have long troubled their relationship.
Both embracing and cleverly subverting rom-com conventions, Wu delivers a bighearted ode to the Chinese American diaspora, and the liberating joy of living one's truth.
