Description

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.

ein wirklich unterhaltsamer film, was man von der deutschen fassung nicht behaupten kann, die ist sowas von schlecht übersetzt, unglaublich! unbedingt in englisch ansehen.

... den ich soeben im rahmen der pink-apple-filme gesehen habe. lustig und doch nicht ohne tiefgang; romantisch und richtig etwas fürs gemüt... ausserdem mit (wenn auch eher märchenhaft zustande gekommenen) glücklichen ausgang. letzterer hat mich – gerade nach dem wunderschönen aber total niederschmetternden brokeback mountain – richtig froh gemacht! lesbische oder schwule liebesgeschichten enden ja zum glück keineswegs immer tod-traurig...
