From director Andrew Ahn comes a hilarious comedy of errors about an adopted family grappling with cultural identity, queerness, and familial expectations. Frustrated by his commitment-averse boyfriend Chris and running out of time, Min proposes: a green card marriage to her friend Angela in exchange for her partner Lee’s expensive IVF. Plans for a secret wedding 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 requires learning to both accept and forgive.
