Saving Face – 9 out of 10
Here I was upset that we’d chosen to see Saving Face over Omagh, and it turns out to be one of the best we’ve seen yet.
It was the world premiere of the first movie by Alice Wu (sp?), and was essentially Kissing Jessica Stein in Chinese. But I loved Kissing Jessica Stein, so I won’t complain about any movie that can match the wit and charm, the characters and quirks that can match it. And this one did.
The two leads (who are relatively undiscovered) were amazing, as was Joan Chen. It was sweet,and terrifically funny. Maybe my favourite so far. I still have 3 more to go before I can say for sure, but it’s looking like a strong contender.

hey there –
this is the filmmaker of saving face – one of my actors forwarded me a link to your blog. thanks for the kind words – i’m glad you came to the screening. i am particularly amused to hear about the clueless reference to rosa parks that ensued apparently at the screening. what can i say. life is funny and sad; people say weird things.
all best,
alice wu
