Saving Face
Directed by Alice Wu • 2004 • United States
Starring Michelle Krusiec, Joan Chen, Lynn Chen
A Chinese American lesbian (Michelle Krusiec) living in New York finds her love life severely cramped when her widowed, unexpectedly pregnant mother is forced to move in with her. Boasting a scene-stealing performance from Joan Chen as the old-school matriarch, this wonderfully warm, witty romantic comedy from Alice Wu offers a slyly perceptive, culturally specific look at Chinese American family values and what it means to both honor and break with tradition.
