Saving Face (2004), Alice Wu
3.5/5
A quirky, sweet drama about a lesbian couple. Great characters that are rounded and realistic. Also it focuses predominantly on the mother daughter relationship (mother played by Joan Chen who gives a stunning performance). This is more than the average romcom and it is funny and moving at times, while at times diverting to romantic comedy film cliche. Focuses beautifully on the issues of shame and social isolation in Asian-American culture.
