Director Andrew Ahn’s joyful comedy of errors tells the story of a chosen family grappling with cultural identity, homosexuality, and familial expectations. Frustrated by her commitment-averse boyfriend Chris and with little time to spare, Min proposes to her friend Angela via green card marriage in exchange for her partner Lee’s expensive IVF. However, their plans to escape are foiled 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 touching and heartfelt reminder that being part of a family means learning to accept and forgive.
