Saving Face

"Came across this gem about the relationship between a gay daughter still in the closet & her widowed pregnant mother. "

"What a cute film! I do appreciate the subversion of the ‘lets hurry to the airport for an important declaration of love’- in real life it takes much more time and effort to win back trust. I appreciate realistic useless lesbians 😌 and the happy ending"

"half in mandarin, half in english, absolutely incredible, one of my faves, about the classic chinese idea of "saving face" in which a mother and daughter both have things that would make their community shun them. it follows a surgeon named Wil, whose mother suddenly moves in with her due to a... growing problem. at the same time, Wil is falling for a free-spirited dancer named Vivian. Alice wu never misses"

"A refreshing movie with really nice one-liners, both emotional and funny!"

"My favorite lesbian movie to date, and I remember being surprised at how wholesome and validating it was for the time when it came out."

"So good. Can’t fully put into words my thoughts but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie to its core. <3"

"The best"

"Same ☺️"

"10/10 it was a cute film. I love the humor in this definitely would recommend "

"This movie manages to stay adorable and light while touching on pretty heavy issues throughout the story. I’d argue that, while this is a romance, familial love and loyalty is a greater aspect to this story. Really well cast. I like how when the POC are alone, they don’t resort to English to communicate just to pander the audience like a lot of movies do. They speak their native language. Highly recommend."
