The Wedding Banquet, directed by Andrew Ahn, is a remake of Ang Lee's 1993 film, reimagined with a focus on the familial bonds within the queer community. The plot centers on a gay couple, Min and Angela, pretending to be straight due to family expectations, supported by their friends. Ahn skillfully balances humor with heartfelt performances, especially from Bowen Yang and Lily Gladstone. Notably, the veteran cast members, including Joan Chen and Youn Yuh-jung, shine in their roles, providing richly layered portrayals that resonate deeply with audiences, especially queer viewers seeking uplifting narratives.
The Wedding Banquet serves up comfort food for queer audiences during a time when they're hungering for something upbeat to devour.
Director Andrew Ahn tones down the horniness to celebrate the families that queer communities create, delivering heartwarming performances from an exceptional cast.
