‘The Wedding Banquet’ Review: Mothers Always Know Best In Andrew Ahn’s Big-Hearted Remake Of A Gay Classic – Sundance Film Festival

It takes some guts to follow in the footsteps of writer James Schamus and director Ang Lee, but Andrew Ahn has achieved something pretty special here with his big-hearted reinterpretation of the pair’s 1993 arthouse hit The Wedding Banquet. Its unapologetic approach to all the which-ways of human attraction might be a bit full-on for mainstream audiences (it’s hard to imagine something so otherwise wholesome being any gayer), but don’t be surprised to see Ahn’s film pop up in the awards conversation this time next year, even if it doesn’t do Crazy Rich Asians figures at the box office.

We should see what it’s about,'” Ahn recalled at the Variety Studio presented by Audible.
