Love, Family Drama, and Second Chances: A Queer Asian-American Rom-Com That'll Make Your Heart Soar!
Honey, get ready for a deliciously complicated serving of family drama with a side of sapphic romance! 'Saving Face' is the groundbreaking rom-com that had us all screaming 'finally!' when it broke onto the scene as one of the first mainstream lesbian films centered on Asian-American characters.
Meet Wil, our closeted Chinese-American surgeon who's trying to keep it all together while juggling a steamy secret relationship with a gorgeous dancer. But wait, there's more! Just when she thinks she's got this double life thing down, her pregnant mother shows up on her doorstep, kicked out by their conservative community faster than you can say 'scandal.' Talk about family drama!
This feel-good gem from director Alice Wu serves up the perfect blend of hearty laughs and tender moments as three generations of Chinese-American women navigate love, tradition, and the courage to live their truth. It's the kind of story that'll have you crying happy tears into your popcorn and texting your mom right after.
