Film Review: Saving Face

The movie stars Joan Chen and Michelle Krusiec, both of whom have had moderate success on the big screen in both Asia and America. They play Hwei-Lan and Wilhelmina respectively, a mother and daughter. Two events at the beginning of the movie drive the plot: Hwei-Lan falls pregnant out of wedlock, and Wil falls in love with Vivian, an dancer and the daughter of a senior doctor at the hospital where she works. The drama of the movie is then driven by Wil attempting to find a suitable partner for her mother to marry to satisfy her traditional grandfather, and Wil dating Vivian while balancing her job as a surgeon, her mother who is living with her, and her desire to not offend anyone in traditional Chinese community. <a href="https://chrisreads.medium.com/film-review-saving-face-af37387f9d4b">Learn More</a>
