Review of Saving Face (2004) by Jessica W — 03 Jul 2008
I love how Flixster completely leaves out an entire romance storyline that's at the center of this movie. Bad Flixster!
That aside, here's the review, short and sweet (much like the movie):
Romantic. Yes, it has lesbians (a few steamy scenes, hence the R). Sentimental. Gorgeous. Comments on social issues. LOVE the family dynamic. It made me cry, it made me laugh, it made me smile. A little bit of something for everybody. A great feel-good, but still thoughtful, moving and overall a very well-written movie. Wonderful!
And because Flixster fails, here's a plot summary from Netflix, that tells the other major storyline:
"Dutiful daughter Wil sidesteps her mother's attempts to marry her off in Alice Wu's romantic comedy set in New York. At 28, Wil's the old maid of her traditional Chinese family, so there's no way she can tell them about her budding romance with Vivian. But there's no avoiding mom's meddling matchmaking when she shows up on Wil's doorstep looking for a place to stay.".
