33/36
Directed by Andrew Ahn, this hilarious comedy of errors follows a family of choice as they navigate cultural identity, queerness, and family expectations. Frustrated by his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris and running out of time, Min makes a proposal: marriage to their friend Angela on a green card in exchange for her partner Lee’s expensive IVF. But their elopement 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.
