Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Sedona premiere of “The Wedding Banquet” showing May 23-29 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
From Director Andrew Ahn comes a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating cultural identity, queerness, and family expectations.
Frustrated with his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris and running out of time, Min makes a proposal: a green-card marriage with their friend Angela in exchange for her partner Lee’s expensive IVF.
Elopement plans are upended, however, when Min’s grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding banquet.
Starring Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-chan, Joan Chen, and Youn Yuh-jung, “The Wedding Banquet” is a poignant and heartfelt reminder that being part of a family means learning to both accept and forgive.
“A crowd pleaser. An old-school rom-com with a fresh touch.” — Collider
