From Director Andrew Ahn comes a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating cultural identity, queerness, and family expectations. Frustrated with his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris and running out of time, Min makes a proposal: a green-card marriage with their friend Angela in exchange for her partner Lee's expensive IVF. Elopement plans are upended, however, when Min's grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding banquet. Starring Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-chan, Joan Chen, and Youn Yuh-jung, The Wedding Banquet is a poignant and heartfelt reminder that being part of a family means learning to both accept and forgive.

Justin Chang

The New Yorker

It’s the warmth of Gladstone’s presence that leaves a lasting impression and endows this remake -- with all its reshufflings, inspired or strained -- with a whisper of something authentically new.

Breakfast All Day

Andrew Ahn is a humane filmmaker -- this is his fourth feature, and I think they all really work, capturing not only geographic specificity but also giving you characters who are deep and moving.

TIME Magazine

It’s a fun, open-hearted picture, and even if it lacks the wistful subtlety of the original, it ends up on the same landing note.

We're Watching What?!

It's a bold move to take on an Ang Lee film to remake, but Andrew Ahn and his talented cast turn The Wedding Banquet into an even more multidimensional earnest tale with a depth the original doesn't quite delve into.

Rated: 4.7/5

This remake doesn’t simply retell Lee’s story; it expands it, deepening the themes, widening the scope, and centering the modern, multifaceted Asian American queer experience.

What She Said

brings home the old saw – the truth shall set you free. Ahn’s ultra human, complicated story resonates with anyone who has felt themselves protected by misdirection – a false hope – and everyone who has learned forgiveness and optimism and patience

Rated: 4/4

It was so cute! Different enough from the original, and modernized it.

Bill

A little bit Korea heavy (esp. compared to Ang Lees original film from the 90s) but the women in this 21st century version deliver and give the production much added depth. Bowen Yang was funny and serious when he needed to be as were Joan Chen and Grandma (H)youn (sp?) Very enjoyable overall

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
