From director Andrew Ahn comes a lighthearted comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating cultural identity, queerness, and familial expectations. Frustrated with her commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris and running out of time, Min makes a proposal: a green card marriage to her friend Angela in exchange for her partner Lee’s expensive IVF. Their plans for elopement are derailed, 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 means learning to accept and forgive.
