Writer-director Alice Wu's debut film is a heartwarming and heartbreaking romantic comedy about family, tradition, and changing times. Michelle Krusiec gives an outstanding performance as Wilhelmina, a doctor in a Manhattan hospital who returns to Flushing's Chinatown every Friday night to participate in her extended family's weekly dance mixer. While her mother (TWIN PEAKS's Joan Chen) and the other women try to set her up with eligible bachelors, Wil falls for Vivian (Lynn Chen), a beautiful young dancer who feels the attraction as well. As the two women contemplate a possible relationship, Wil's mother, who is nearing fifty, reveals she is pregnant, but she will not tell anyone who the father is. Wil's grandfather (Jin Wang) disowns his daughter for the shame she is bringing the family he feels he has lost face in the community forcing Wil to take in her mother and care for her in a reversal of generational roles and responsibility. But just as her mother remains secretive of who the father of her baby is, Wil keeps her lesbianism a secret as well. SAVING FACE, which played the Toronto and Sundance Film Festivals, is an endearing film, with likable characters in unique, believable situations that are both funny and moving. Krusiec and Lynn Chen are a charming couple, and Joan Chen is stoically wonderful as an Asian-American woman representing the bridge between the old traditions and the new Chinese youth culture. The soundtrack features a pair of songs by Marc Anthony Thompson, aka Chocolate Genius, as well as Cat Power and Leona Naess.

Ms Wu loves and understands her characters, especially the thorny and tradition-bound old folks, and her fondness for them bathes SAVING FACE in a palpable glow of affection
