Director Andrew Ahn delivers a joyous comedy of errors about a select 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 their friend Angela in exchange for her partner Lee’s expensive IVF. However, their plans for an elopement 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 touching and heartfelt reminder that being part of a family means learning to accept and forgive.
