COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Even better second time around! submitted by yufamily on June 28, 2021, 7:51pm Alan S. Kim/David is simply adorable and talented.

Struggles submitted by Linda Rama on August 23, 2021, 12:54pm Very realistic struggles that many are facing every day. What does one who dreams really strive for? All characters are on target with the emotional ups and downs of life. Being immigrants to America is challenging in itself. Trying to create opportunity, wealth and meaningful purpose of life is very complex and involves the family, community and society all engaged into the commitments too.

good, not great submitted by Tassos on February 5, 2022, 9:47am but I must admit i was not paying 100% attention.

I don't want to see it again, though.

Feels Very Real submitted by majean on July 22, 2022, 2:19pm A truly standout performance from "not real grandma" Yuh-Jung Youn.

A compelling, slowburn submitted by bookasaurusray on July 27, 2022, 11:13am Amazing performances, and a real look into "the american dream." Plus, it doesn't hurt to watch the dreamy steven yeun for a few hours.
