Saving Face (2004) is a heartfelt romantic dramedy about a Chinese-American surgeon (Michelle Krusiec) juggling her conservative family expectations and her relationship with a female ballet dancer. When her widowed mother (Joan Chen) moves in while secretly pregnant, their generational clash and search for acceptance unfold in a witty, tender portrait of identity, love, and cultural tradition.

Criterion Collection

A queer romantic comedy set in vibrant, multicultural New York City, Alice Wus irresistible feature debut breathed fresh life into the genre by combining snappy dialogue and a swooning love story with a poignant narrative about a mother and daughter coming to terms with each other. Just as Wil (Michelle Krusiec), a harried young surgical resident, begins a promising romance with the flirtatious dancer Vivian (Lynn Chen), her life is turned upside down when her more traditional Chinese mother (Joan Chen) unwed and unexpectedly pregnant moves in with her, forcing both women to confront the generational and cultural barriers that have long troubled their relationship. Both embracing and cleverly subverting rom-com conventions, Wu delivers a bighearted ode to the Chinese American diaspora, and the liberating joy of living ones truth.
