I agree with all the rave reviews of this wonderful film. One thing that stayed with me longest, though, is Cho's brilliantly comic and emotional portrayal of her (self-described) "cool" mom. The layers of outrageous humor and friendly exasperation at first conceal, and eventually reveal, intense two-way love and loyalty. Cho's vignette about her mother's favorite Mother's Day is incredible. Cho's "mom" routines are fully realized portraits - of a relationship, an immigrant experience, and the best stuff of families. This film is worth watching at least a few times.
