Director Jon Chu was brilliant in Now You See Me 2, so naturally Crazy Rich Asians was a must see for me. What surprised me the most about the film was the phenomenal, and fairly untapped, acting talent from the entire cast. Constance Wu was absolutely perfect. It was difficult to praise any one performance besides hers because everyone was so genuinely great. I believe this speaks on the state of Hollywood and portraying Asians in primary roles. So many Asians actors and actresses are limited to supporting roles, so I hope that the break out cast of Crazy Rich Asians shows future movie makers that there is unbelievable untapped potential in the acting market. As the credits were rolling, I found myself feeling so happy and I could not quite put a finger on what was making me feel this way. Upon reflection, I believe that a well written, well directed, and well casted film is just bound to leave the viewer in some sort of awe. Crazy Rich Asians did just that.
