Saving Face starts like you might expect a Chinese-American lesbian romantic comedy to start: Young surgeon Wilhelmina (Michelle Krusiec, in her first starring role) has kept her sexual orientation secret from the conservative Chinese community of Flushing, NY–but when her mother (Joan Chen, The Last Emperor) becomes pregnant and is kicked out by her own parents, Wil suddenly has to juggle her mother’s secrets with her own…which include her sparky new romance with Vivian (Lynn Chen), a ballet dancer and the daughter of Wil’s boss. This bundle of intrigue and lust could motivate a wacky farce, but writer/director Alice Wu takes things a step further, delving into the characters’ psyches and the complex social rules of their world while still crafting a strong plot and plenty of sly humor. Wu captures excellent performances from her entire cast, particularly Joan Chen, who gives perhaps her most multifaceted performance. A rich, rewarding, and delightful movie. — (more…)

Nice debut from Alice Wu features good performances by Joan Chen, Michelle Krusiec and Lynn Chen
Then first-time director/writer Alice Wu’s “Saving Face” is a film that demonstrates considerable charm and polish.
