The Wedding Banquet

Friday 20 June 2025 - Thursday 26 June 2025

Cinema

From Director Andrew Ahn comes a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating the disasters and delights of family expectations, queerness, and cultural identity at The Wedding Banquet.

Angela and her partner Lee have been unlucky with their IVF treatments, but can’t afford to pay for another round.

Meanwhile, their friend Min, the closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire, has plenty of family money but a soon-to-expire student visa.

When his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris rejects his proposal, Min makes the offer to Angela instead: a green card marriage in exchange for funding Lee’s IVF.

But their plans to quietly elope are upended when Min’s sceptical grandmother flies in from Korea unannounced, insisting on an all-out wedding extravaganza.

The Wedding Banquet stars a pitch-perfect cast of multigenerational talent that includes Bowen Yang, Academy Award nominee Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-chan, Joan Chen, and Academy Award winner Youn Yuh-jung.

It’s fresh reimagining of Ang Lee’s beloved, Award-winning rom-com teems with humour and heart in a poignant reminder that being part of a family means learning to both accept and forgive.

 

‘The Wedding Banquet” reimagining—a modern-day tale with an old-fashioned spirit, a joyous crowd-pleaser with the most romantic of hearts.’ RogerEbert ★★★⯪
