The Wedding Banquet
“It’s the warmth of Gladstone’s presence that leaves a lasting impression and endows this remake…with a whisper of something authentically new.” – Justin Chang, The New Yorker
The New York Times Critic’s Pick
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 proposes: 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.
