As the Sundance Film Festival nears its conclusion on Day 5, the buzz on Main Street in Park City continues with premieres ranging from Rachael Abigail Holder’s; Love, Brooklyn to Andrew Ahn’s The Wedding Banquet.
The premiere of Andre Holland’s directorial debut, featuring Roy Wood Jr., Nicole Beharie, Cassandra Freeman, DeWanda Wise, and Andre Holland himself, was attended by the cast and crew of Love, Brooklyn. The film chronicles the lives of three lifelong Brooklyn residents as they grapple with careers, love, loss, and the enduring bonds of friendship amidst the city’s ever-evolving urban landscape.

Ahn’s The Wedding Banquet, starring Bowen Yang, Youn Yuh-jung, Han Gi-chan, Kelly Marie Tran, Joan Chen, and Lily Gladstone followed at the Eccles Theater. The remake of Ang Lee’s 1993 rom-com follows Angela and her partner Lee who have been unlucky with their IVF treatments but can’t afford to pay for another round. Meanwhile, their friend Min, the closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire, has plenty of family money but a soon-to-expire student visa. When his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris rejects his proposal, Min makes the offer to Angela instead: a green card marriage in exchange for funding Lee’s IVF. Elopement plans are upended, however, when Min’s grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding banquet.
