The Wedding Banquet

Reviews

• "THE WEDDING BANQUET is a classic rom-com with modern touches that rarely ring false or feel heavyhanded. The entire ensemble is top-notch, allowing beloved actors like Gladstone and Yang to do something slightly different from their usual fare."
  - Collider
• "THE WEDDING BANQUET may be the feel-good movie of the year, but that's not to call it a frivolity. It's a film that, once again, demonstrates how all of us, no matter from what background, can relate to each other, and in the era we're currently suffering through, that's a message we could all use more of."
  - Slashfilm
• "The combination of cast and storytelling makes for an emotionally gorgeous, hilarious, and touching film that you’ll want to rewatch over and over again."
  - Screen Rant
• "While occasionally heavy on exposition, memorable dialogue thrives via the actors’ convincingly comfortable banter."
  - Variety
• "While the original managed to tap into something new for its time, it is also not untouchable and, as Ahn proves so decisively here, was worth revisiting just so we could experience his thoughtful approach."

• "Ahn has successfully forged a career making both indie productions and bigger, broader fare. THE WEDDING BANQUET fits in the latter category, but some of the quiet introspection from his earlier work still finds its way in here."
  - Variety
• "Funny and poignant in equal measure, the comedy of manners does sag here and there, with a noticeable energy dip around the two-thirds mark. But the winning cast are able to steer it back on track before the irresistibly sweet conclusion."
  - The Hollywood Reporter
• "Every time THE WEDDING BANQUET threatens to go rotten, Youn and Chen make a choice that remind you how good they are."
