The Wedding Banquet is a beautifully nuanced re-imagining

Two couples, four best friends, Min (Han Gi-chan of kdrama Where Your Eyes Linger) and Chris (Bowen Yang of Crazy Rich Asians), Angela (Kelly Marie Tran, of several Star Wars films) and Lee (Lily Gladstone of Killers of the Flower Moon), live at the same address, share their lives and love each other. Nothing special or grandiose about their stories, there’s love, frustrations, insecurities, but these are things we all share as humans. While Chris is working through his issues with worthiness, aimlessness and fear of the future, Angela is trying to reconcile her frustrating and hurtful relationship with her mother while apprehensively preparing to become one herself with Lee’s second attempt at IVF looming.
