Oscar-winner Lee Isaac Chung‘s semi-autobiographical MINARI is a sweet and poignant portrait of a Korean-American family who moves to Arkansas in search of their own American Dream. With the arrival of their sly, foul-mouthed, but incredibly loving grandmother, the stability of their relationships is challenged even more in this new life in the rugged Ozarks, testing the undeniable resilience of family and what really makes a home. With Steven Yeun (TV’s THE WALKING DEAD, BURNING) and legendary Korean actress Yuh-Jung Youn, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her memorable turn as an eclectic grandmother

“It is a work of extraordinary delicacy, poignancy and tenderness. Whatever else, teaching’s loss is entirely our gain.” (The Spectator)

“It is a film in which the details, the child’s-eye-view episodes, the calamities, the tenderly remembered touches, all sing together like a choir.” (The Guardian)

“A profound, detail-perfect and soulful slice of American family life, with some of the year’s most sincere performances to date.” (Empire Magazine)

“There is such depth, truth, and warmth to all of these people… Every choice here is beautiful and perfect.” (NPR)
