I really liked this movie. Do I dare say I liked it more than Minari? For me it was more relatable and hit upon so many things that I don't think Minari did for me. Disclaimer: my parents also owned a dry cleaners and I grew up in Flushing. Kudos to the team that wrote, produced and directed it and to the actors and actresses! I thought they did an amazing job. Thank you for giving me a film I can relate to. Btw where can I download the songs from the soundtrack?

A Korean-American family living in Queens, NY struggle to survive with a dry cleaning business while their son and daughter work to establish their American identities. The script is razor sharp and insightful, showing a deep understanding of the immigrant experience in America. The actors seem like real people in a documentary being followed by a camera crew. I was captivated from the beginning to the end of this remarkable film. One of the best movies of 2019 and an absolutely unforgettable experience.

This film is a piece of reality, but as such it does not add anything new to what we experience or what we see around us. It got me depressed, annoyed and upset at times. Lots of yelling and shouting-why do I have to go through this? The dramatic curve is almost non-existent. I give it a 6 for the acting, which is solid, and for the shimmering and clean appearance of the photography. Watch it if you like super common family dramas.
