Plot summary

An odd and intense middle aged Korean American man flirts with the idea of suicide because he believes he's failed his immigrant parents. He's disturbed by his increasingly vivid hallucinations of what his life could have been. So he pursues spirituality to calm himself, and in the process encounters others who are struggling in their own ways.

Funny & Deep - Best Movie I've Seen in A WHILE

On my gods, this was a phenomenal film. GREAT actors, of course, but it's been a WHILE since a film has stuck to me like this. In every conversation I've had this week, I've mentioned the film.If you have these questions - what the hell we're doing here? What are we supposed to do with our lives? Why does the world feel nutty? It's a masterfully woven & edited film that feels complex, but lands on simplicity; taking on existentialism & the burden of being happy with LOVE being the antidote to cynicism.Def a must see for every child of immigrants. These writers/filmmakers did some serious magic. Funny & Deep.

Hilarious and Thoughtful Gem

Saw this at the Angelika in NYC. Didn't know what to expect aside from Constance Wu (who's awesome) as the star. I was completely taken by the irreverent and intelligent humor, raw and honest dialogue, and interesting characters. It was part contemplation on the big questions in life, the pressures to be successful and happy that Asian American immigrants face, and a showcase of non-stereotypical Asian American roles. Despite the film being very focused on the Asian immigrant experience, I found it very relatable because the themes and humor transcend lots of different categories.After the film ended, the director/writer/lead actor Daniel Yoon and two actors (Kavi and Sam) gave a talk and answered questions for about an hour. That was equally interesting and fun to hear about the creative process and the work that went into it. Daniel mentioned that principle photography took place way back in 2010, because Constance Wu became famous for Crazy Rich Asians and Fresh Off the Boat. So you see her in excellent form in this little indie film before stardom, which is really cool. The other leads (Kavi, Sam, Daniel) also gave phenomenal performances. I can't wait to see the next film by this guy.

One of my top 10 films of all time. Yes, that amazing!

This is an absolute masterpiece of a film. I have watched 1000+ movies in my life and this is first time I am reviewing one online. It is that wonderful. I laughed, I cried...multiple times. So heartfelt. The acting is phenomenal. Constance Wu is off the charts charismatic. The entire cast did such an amazing job. I cannot emphasize that enough. His parents were so cute! I was blown away. This film just works. I'm not sure how critics will describe or categorize this. But, see for yourself. I'm surprised I'm the first review here. When people see this of all ages and races, I'm so convinced others will agree. It is transcendent and touches on universal themes. Thought provoking, funny, hard to categorize really. It was wonderfully written and paced. So brilliant! The director, main actor, writer Daniel Yoon has created a masterpiece. So much heart! The last movie I enjoyed so much was Ladybird. Previous to that was You Can Count on Me when I saw that 22 years ago in theaters. Similarly, a small movie people had not really heard of. Bottom line: make sure people have access to the film. And watch it!
