As an almost-thirty (27) ABC (American-born Chinese) who attended his grandfathers funeral last year in China, this movie really hit close to home. Such a beautiful and accurate portrayal of the family and cultural dynamic between the two worlds.
Lulu Wang does a superb job directing this film and you can really tell this was something super personal for her. While her Mandarin, like mine, is quite shaky, Awkwafina shines in this role and proves she can do more than just comedy. I look forward to both of their future endeavors.
