What people are saying
‘“With each new, vulnerable position that the protagonists are placed in, I feel myself clench up with a familiar “fight or flight” flutter in my chest as I wait for things to escalate—or resolve in quiet, swallowed humiliation. But the film is more than a mere collection of micro- and not-so-micro aggressions, as we are presented with how differently each character interprets and reacts to bigotry. This is where the writing really shines in maintaining complexity and coherence in the way each Asian character grapples with race and identity in a distinct way.”‘
Frankie Huang
‘“Ken Jeong’s non-comedic acting chops shine through. If you get a chance to see the film – you should!”‘
