With a pitch-perfect multigenerational cast that includes Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-Chan, Joan Chen, and Youn Yuh-Jung, Andrew Ahn’s remake of Ang Lee’s 1993 comedy offers a fresh take on a chosen family navigating the disasters and delights of family expectations, queerness, and cultural identity.
