Director Andrew Ahn’s delightful comedy of errors is about a chosen family navigating cultural identity, queerness, and family expectations. Frustrated by her commitment-phobic 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. But their plans for escapism are thwarted 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 belonging to a family means learning to accept and forgive.
